Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs gently until fully combined, avoiding incorporating too much air.
Place a nonstick saucepan or small skillet over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt slowly without browning.
Once the butter has melted, pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Stir immediately with a heatproof silicone spatula or wooden spoon.
Continue to stir the eggs over low heat, using a gentle sweeping motion across the bottom and edges of the pan. Be patient, as cooking on low heat ensures a creamy texture and prevents overcooking.
As the eggs begin to thicken into a custard-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes), remove the pan from the heat momentarily to prevent them from cooking too quickly. Continue to stir.
When the eggs are nearly set but still soft and creamy, remove them from the heat entirely. Stir in the heavy cream to stop the cooking process and add extra richness.
Season the scrambled eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh chives, if desired, for a touch of flavor and color.
Serve immediately with toasted bread, croissants, or alongside your favorite breakfast accompaniments.
