Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream. Whisk them together until the mixture is well combined and frothy. This will make the eggs creamy and silky.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt slowly to prevent browning.
Step 3
Once the butter is fully melted and begins to foam, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
Step 4
Using a wooden spoon or spatula, slowly stir the eggs, gently pushing them from the edges of the pan towards the center. Ensure you stir slowly to maintain large, soft curds.
Step 5
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs.
Step 6
Continue to cook gently, folding the cheese into the eggs, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are just set, being careful not to overcook.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring gently to distribute the seasoning throughout the eggs.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs hot. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped chives for an added burst of flavor and color.
