Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 3
Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to begin setting.
Step 4
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center of the pan as they cook. Continue this process, ensuring the eggs scramble evenly and smoothly.
Step 5
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Step 6
Fold the eggs gently, incorporating the melting cheese, and continue cooking until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted, about 1 to 2 more minutes.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the scramble to plates and sprinkle with chopped chives, if using, for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Egg and Cheese Scramble!
