Ingredients

  • 1
    Large Eggs
    2-3 high-quality, large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 2
    Butter
    2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3
    Heavy Cream
    1-2 tablespoons heavy cream or crème fraîche
  • 4
    Kosher Salt
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 5
    Fresh Chives
    1-2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly with salt until completely smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat a non-stick pan or heavy-bottomed saucepan over the lowest possible heat. Add half the butter and let it melt slowly.

  3. 3

    Pour in the beaten eggs and immediately begin stirring gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan continuously.

  4. 4

    Continue cooking and stirring for 6-8 minutes, never letting the eggs sit still. The mixture will gradually thicken and become creamy.

  5. 5

    When the eggs are almost set but still look slightly wet, remove from heat and add the remaining cold butter and cream.

  6. 6

    Stir vigorously off the heat until the butter melts and creates a silky, creamy texture. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs.

  7. 7

    Taste and adjust seasoning with salt. Garnish with fresh chives if desired and serve immediately on warm toast or plates.
