Instructions

Scramble

1. Crack eggs into a bowl. Add cream. Whisk until completely uniform — no streaks of white.
2. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat until just foaming.
3. Pour in the eggs. Wait 30 seconds, then gently push eggs from edge to center with a rubber spatula.
4. Continue pushing gently every 20 seconds. When eggs are 80% set but still glossy and slightly wet, remove from heat.
5. The residual heat will finish cooking them. Top with chives, flaky salt, and pepper.

Cook's Notes

💡 The #1 mistake is too much heat. Keep it LOW.
💡 Remove from heat while they still look underdone — they'll set perfectly on the plate.
💡 Serve immediately; scrambled eggs wait for no one.
