Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper together until well combined and the mixture is pale yellow.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, tilting the skillet to ensure the bottom is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they start to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue to cook gently, folding the eggs over themselves every few seconds.
Continue cooking until the eggs are creamy and just set, with a soft texture. Avoid overcooking as the eggs will continue to cook from residual heat.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate.
Sprinkle the fresh chives on top if using, and serve immediately.
