Master the technique for making perfectly soft, fluffy, and creamy scrambled eggs every time using simple ingredients and low, slow cooking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons half and half or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Whisk in the half and half or cream, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely until it foams slightly. Do not let the butter brown.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
  4. Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edge toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
  5. Continue this gentle pushing and folding motion slowly across the pan. Keep the heat low. This process should take 5 to 8 minutes for a creamy texture.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy, remove the pan from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them to a soft consistency.
  7. Stir in the fresh chives, if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest results, do not over-whisk the eggs; stop when they are just combined.
  • Cooking low and slow prevents the eggs from becoming tough or dry.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the cream with 1 teaspoon of softened cream cheese mixed in with the eggs before cooking.
  • This recipe is a great base for quick egg meals or as part of a low carb breakfast.
