Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
- 2 slices crusty bread or toast (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk gently to incorporate, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Step 3
Place a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt slowly and coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Continue stirring the eggs over low heat until they start to thicken and form soft curds. Be patient, as cooking the eggs gently is key to achieving a creamy texture.
Step 6
Once the eggs are just set but still slightly soft and glossy, remove the skillet from the heat. They will continue to cook slightly from residual heat.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chopped chives, reserving a few for garnish if desired.
Step 8
Serve the creamy scrambled eggs immediately, either on their own or atop slices of crusty bread or toast. Garnish with the reserved chives for a finishing touch.
