Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the heavy cream. Whisk together with a fork or a whisk until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Stir in the salt and black pepper, ensuring even seasoning throughout the egg mixture.

Step 3

Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside for garnish.

Step 4

Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the egg mixture to the pan.

Step 6

Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs in the pan, moving them slowly from the edges to the center. Be patient and continue to stir as the eggs begin to form soft curds.

Step 7

Cook the eggs to your desired level of doneness, ensuring they remain creamy and slightly glossy.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the heat to avoid overcooking the eggs.

Step 9

Transfer the scrambled eggs onto serving plates and sprinkle with the chopped chives for a fresh, herby flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
