Egg Mixture

Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparing the Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Whisk the eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack the large eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking the Eggs

  1. 2

    Melt butter

    In a non-stick skillet, add the unsalted butter and place it over low heat. Allow the butter to melt slowly without browning.

  2. 3

    Add egg mixture

    Once the butter is melted and foamy, pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds to begin setting.

  3. 4

    Scramble gently

    Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet. The goal is to keep the eggs moving while still allowing them to form soft curds.

  4. 5

    Cook to desired consistency

    Continue to cook the eggs gently, stirring occasionally until they are softly set but still slightly runny. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add garnish

    Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the finely chopped chives and any additional fresh herbs over the top.
