Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 ounce cheddar cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs, and whisk again to combine thoroughly.

Step 3

Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt completely but not brown.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds to begin setting slightly.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, moving them slowly and continuously to create soft curds.

Step 7

When the eggs are about 80% set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Fold the eggs gently a few more times to melt the cheese and finish cooking. Be careful not to overcook, as the eggs should remain creamy and soft.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with chopped chives if desired.
