Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.125 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and beat the eggs gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are just combined. Avoid over-beating as it introduces too much air.

Step 2

Place a non-stick pan over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt slowly, ensuring it does not brown.

Step 3

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Using a heatproof spatula, stir the eggs continuously, gently pulling them from the edges to the center as they slowly cook. This will create small, soft curds.

Step 4

When the eggs are about halfway cooked and starting to form creamy curds, add the heavy cream. Stir it into the eggs to enrich the texture and balance the cooking temperature.

Step 5

Continue stirring over low heat until the eggs are barely set but still creamy and moist. Be cautious not to overcook as French-style scrambled eggs should remain soft and luscious.

Step 6

Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt to taste. Stir gently to incorporate the seasoning.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the heat immediately to prevent further cooking. Optionally, garnish the scrambled eggs with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.

Step 8

Serve the scrambled eggs warm, accompanied by toasted bread, croissants, or as part of a full breakfast spread.
