Prep Time:10 mins

Ingredients

  • 6 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 4 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

To assemble, spoon the scrambled eggs onto a plate. Drizzle the warm Parmesan sauce generously over the eggs.

Step 7

Crumble the crispy prosciutto on top and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
