Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step 2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the skillet evenly.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until it begins to set slightly.
Step 4
Use a silicone spatula to gently stir and scrape the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, forming soft curds. Repeat this process continuously over low heat to prevent overcooking.
Step 5
Once the eggs are about 75% cooked with a creamy consistency, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the eggs. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs, stirring until melted and incorporated.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are creamy and slightly runny, as they will continue cooking from residual heat. Avoid overcooking to retain their soft texture.
Step 7
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving dish. Top with chopped fresh parsley and chopped cherry tomatoes for festive color and flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately as part of your Christmas brunch, paired with toast or warm croissants.
