Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 1 serving
- 3 egg, cold
- 3 pieces butter, small knobs
- 1 teaspoon crème fraîche
- chive, chopped
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Step 1Crack the cold eggs straight into a pan with 3 small knobs of butter.
- Step 2Place the pan on high heat and stir gently and continuously, cleaning the bottom of the pan with every stir. Move the pan on and off the heat every 30 seconds throughout the cooking process to control the temperature and prevent overcooking. Continue for about 3 minutes until the eggs start to thicken.
- Step 3Remove from heat, then return to heat once more as the eggs continue to come together into a creamy texture.
- Step 4Lightly season with salt and pepper at the very end.
- Step 5Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of crème fraîche to add creamy texture and stop the eggs from overcooking.
- Step 6Serve the light, fluffy, and creamy scrambled eggs topped with a sprinkle of chopped chives.
Notes
- Do not season the eggs until the very end to prevent them from turning gray.
- If overcooked, the eggs will become watery.
- The on-and-off heat method slows the cooking and prevents overcooking.
