A quick and easy scrambled eggs recipe that yields soft, creamy, and comforting eggs with a touch of heavy cream for extra richness. Perfect for any breakfast occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, gruyere, parmesan, or feta)

Instructions

  1. Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of heavy cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs. Whisk a little more to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  3. Place an 8-inch non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter and let it melt slowly, swirling the pan to coat the surface, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds until the edges begin to set.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently move the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue to fold and stir slowly every 10-15 seconds, cooking gently over low heat.
  6. After about 3-4 minutes, when the eggs form soft, creamy curds but still look slightly runny, remove the pan from heat. Residual heat will finish cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Optionally, stir in chopped chives or cheese. Serve immediately on warm plates.

Notes

Cook eggs slowly over low heat to keep them creamy and soft. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold eggs to avoid breaking them into tiny pieces. Remove from heat when slightly underdone to finish cooking with residual heat. Fresh eggs and heavy cream yield the best texture. Substitute whole milk for cream if needed, but texture will be less creamy. For dairy-free, use coconut cream.
