Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined. Do not season at this stage.

Step 2

Add a tablespoon of the butter to a non-stick skillet and set it over very low heat. Allow the butter to melt slowly without browning.

Step 3

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Using a spatula, stir the eggs continuously and gently, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to ensure the eggs cook evenly.

Step 4

As the eggs begin to thicken and form small curds, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and continue stirring to create a creamy and smooth texture.

Step 5

Once the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat. Residual heat will continue to cook them to perfection.

Step 6

Stir the heavy cream into the eggs to stop the cooking process and enhance the creaminess. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 7

Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and garnish with fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
