Low and slow eggs with cream cheese folded in. The softest, richest scramble.
At a Glance
Ingredients
- eggs 3 large
- cream cheese 1 tbsp
- salted butter 1 tbsp
- fresh chives, snipped small bunch
- salt and black pepper to taste
- toast or crackers to serve
Method
-
Whisk
Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl and beat them thoroughly with a pinch of salt until completely uniform.
-
Low and slow
Melt 1 tablespoon of salted butter in a small non stick pan over the absolute lowest heat. Pour in the eggs and stir constantly with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides to form soft curds. This should take 5 to 7 minutes. Do not rush it.
-
Finish
When the eggs are just barely set and still look slightly wet, remove the pan from the heat. Fold in 1 tablespoon of cream cheese so it melts from the residual heat. Top with a small bunch of snipped fresh chives and black pepper.
Slop Notes
Keep it low and slow and keep it moving. Taking it off the heat early is not optional.
