Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 0.25 cups Asiago cheese
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl, then add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Finely chop the chives and set aside. Grate the Asiago cheese if not pre-shredded.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 15-20 seconds, allowing the edges to set slightly.
Step 5
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, folding them over themselves. Continue to cook and fold slowly, ensuring the eggs cook evenly and maintain a soft texture.
Step 6
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, sprinkle in the chopped chives and grated Asiago cheese. Gently fold them into the eggs, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue cooking with residual heat. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
