Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for garnishing)
- 2 slices sourdough toast (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until fully combined. Then add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Whisk again to incorporate the seasonings.
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for 30 seconds without stirring.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs, folding them over themselves as they cook. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet to prevent sticking.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked (still slightly runny), add the cream cheese and grated Parmesan. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs until evenly distributed.
Continue stirring and folding the eggs until they reach your desired level of creaminess. Remove the skillet from the heat slightly before they are fully set, as the residual heat will continue to cook them.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the scrambled eggs and stir lightly to incorporate.
Transfer the eggs to a plate. Optionally, drizzle with a touch of olive oil for extra richness and serve with slices of sourdough toast on the side.
