Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Use a whisk or fork to gently beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined, but avoid over-mixing.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside for garnishing.
Step 4
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the pan evenly.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center. Repeat this motion continuously, creating soft folds.
Step 7
Cook the eggs slowly over low heat, stirring regularly until they are just set but still slightly creamy and glossy. This should take about 5–6 minutes.
Step 8
Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to perfection.
Step 9
Plate the scrambled eggs and sprinkle them with the fresh chives for a touch of brightness and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately with toasted bread, avocado, or your choice of side.
