1
Crack the Eggs
Carefully crack the eggs into a bowl, ensuring no shell fragments fall in.
2
Whisk the Eggs
Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. If using cream or milk, add it to the eggs and mix well.
3
Chop the Herbs
If using chives or green onions, finely chop them and set aside for garnish.

4
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over low heat until it starts to foam but not brown.
5
Add the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
6
Stir Gently
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Continue to do this, allowing the eggs to cook slowly.
7
Season the Eggs
Once the eggs begin to thicken but are still slightly runny, add salt and black pepper. Stir gently to combine.
8
Finish Cooking
Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are soft and creamy, they should still look slightly undercooked as they will continue to cook off the heat.
9
Serve
Transfer the soft scrambled eggs to a plate and garnish with chopped chives or green onions, if using. Enjoy immediately.
