In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the whole milk and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Add the nutmeg and black pepper, stirring to incorporate. Reduce the heat to low to keep the sauce warm while you prepare the eggs.
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring continuously with a silicone spatula, until soft curds form and the eggs are just barely set. The key is to cook them low and slow for a creamy texture. Remove from heat just before they are fully cooked, as residual heat will finish them.
While the eggs are cooking, heat a separate dry skillet over medium heat. Add the prosciutto slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until crisp. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
To assemble, spoon the scrambled eggs onto a plate. Drizzle the warm Parmesan sauce generously over the eggs.
Crumble the crispy prosciutto on top and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
