Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined, and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Tilt the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling but not browned, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds, allowing the edges to begin setting.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing from the edges of the pan toward the center in a figure-eight motion. Continue to cook and stir, pausing every few seconds to allow larger curds to form.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft and glossy, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs without overcooking them.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
