Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the bottom of the skillet is evenly coated with melted butter.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed until they begin to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 4
Using a spatula, gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue this process, gently folding every few seconds, for about 4 to 5 minutes or until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs. Continue to cook, slowly folding and stirring, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are creamy and fully cooked, approximately 1 to 2 more minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat, immediately transfer to serving plates, and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve hot.
