How to Make Scrambled Eggs
Description
The recipe begins by whisking eight large eggs with heavy cream and seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cooking the mixture over medium heat in melted unsalted butter allows the eggs to set gently while stirring occasionally promotes soft curds and prevents overcooking. The eggs are cooked until thickened and no liquid remains, typically within 3 to 5 minutes. Serving immediately ensures the eggs keep their creamy texture. Garnishing with fresh chopped chives provides a fresh, delicate onion note and visual appeal. This classic scrambled egg method produces moist, tender eggs suitable for breakfast or brunch.
