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
 

  • Combine the eggs, extra yolks, cream, and cream cheese. Let this sit out for 15–20 minutes to take the chill off.
  • Whisk until well blended. It’s okay if the cream cheese isn’t fully smooth—it’ll melt into the eggs as they cook.
  • Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, tilting the pan so it coats the surface.
  • Pour in your egg mixture.
  • Gently stir the egg mixture, scraping along the bottom and edges of the pan by using a silicone or rubber spatula. Move cooked bits aside to let raw egg flow through.
  • Lower the heat or briefly remove the pan from the burner while continuing to stir. This is if things heat up too fast or the eggs begin to brown.
  • Cook until the eggs form soft, glossy curds and there’s no visible liquid left.
  • Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to stop the cooking.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle chives over the top just before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Keep the heat low and don’t walk away—eggs cook fast and keep cooking even after you plate them.
  • Feel free to customize with seasonings like garlic powder, chili flakes, or fresh herbs.
