Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
Cooking
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Whisk eggs with cream or milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat until melted.
  3. Pour in whisked eggs and let sit for a few seconds before stirring.
  4. Use a silicone spatula to slowly push eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft folds.
  5. Cook low and slow until eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly loose.
  6. Remove from heat; residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.
  7. Garnish with chives and serve immediately.

Notes

Remove eggs from heat early to prevent overcooking; they firm up as they rest.
