Made with Only 6 Ingredients

• Eggs: Fresh eggs are key for a delicious and visually pleasing final product.
• Heavy cream: A splash of heavy cream is what gives these eggs their creamy, velvety texture.
• Salt & black pepper: A pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper are all you need to enhance the flavor. Keep it simple!
• Butter: Just a small amount of butter is used for cooking the eggs, adding a rich and buttery taste.
• Chopped chives: Fresh chives add a bright, mild onion flavor.

Preparation

To start, grab a medium bowl and crack in the eggs. Pour in the heavy cream, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and whisk it all together with a fork until it’s smooth and a little frothy.

Cooking

Heat a nonstick pan on medium-low and add some butter. Let it melt and coat the pan nicely. 

Pour in the raw egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds. Use a rubber spatula to gently stir, pushing the edges toward the center. Keep stirring every few seconds to form soft, fluffy curds. 

Cook until the eggs are set but still a little glossy and soft. 

Serving

Serve it up warm and sprinkle on some fresh herbs like chopped chives to finish it off. Enjoy!
