Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons chives finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix the eggs, extra yolks, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Let the bowl sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes so everything isn’t too cold when you start.
  • Whisk the ingredients well. It’s okay if the cream cheese doesn’t fully dissolve—it’ll break down in the pan.
  • Warm a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add butter and tilt the pan to coat the surface evenly.
  • Pour in your egg mixture once the butter is melted and begins to foam.
  • Stir slowly and gently with a rubber or silicone spatula, scraping the bottom and sides. Push the cooked portions aside to let the uncooked parts reach the heat.
  • Reduce the heat or lift the pan off the burner briefly if the eggs start to brown or cook too fast to manage the temperature.
  • Keep cooking until soft curds form and the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy and moist.
  • Take the pan off the heat right away and transfer the eggs to a plate to stop the cooking.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with chives before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Don’t crank up the heat—slow and low gives you creamy eggs.
  • You can tweak this basic recipe with herbs, chili flakes, or garlic powder if you like a little extra flavor.
