Ingredients
Scrambled Eggs Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk gently until the yolks and whites are just combined, leaving some streaks of white for texture.
- Heat Skillet and Melt Butter: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely until it foams slightly, making sure it doesn’t brown.
- Pour and Set Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
- Gently Push Eggs: Use a rubber spatula to gently push the cooked eggs from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let uncooked eggs flow underneath. Repeat slowly around the pan.
- Cook Slowly: Continue cooking over low heat, stirring and folding gently every few seconds to keep the eggs moving and prevent overcooking or browning.
- Finish Cooking: When eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet and glossy, remove from heat. Residual heat will complete the cooking.
- Add Chives and Serve: Stir in minced chives if using, and serve immediately on toast or a plate.
Notes
- Do not over-whisk the eggs; slight streaks of white add texture.
- Keep the heat low to avoid browning the butter or eggs.
- Remove from heat when eggs are slightly wet to preserve creaminess.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results and easier folding.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
