Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons chives (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Set a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly, ensuring it doesn't brown.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Using a silicone spatula, stir the eggs continuously with light, sweeping motions, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan as the eggs begin to set. Maintain low heat to keep the eggs creamy and avoid overcooking.
When the eggs are about 75% cooked (still soft and slightly runny), sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Continue to stir gently, allowing the cheese to melt and incorporate into the eggs.
Once the eggs are fully cooked yet still creamy and soft, remove the skillet from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with finely chopped chives if desired. Pair with buttered toast or a side of crispy bacon for the ultimate indulgence.
