Method
- Crack eggs directly into a cold non-stick skillet and add butter. Place on medium heat and start stirring immediately. Eggs should look loose and runny at first.
- Stir constantly with a silicone spatula, scraping the bottom and sides so nothing sticks or burns.
- Once soft curds begin to form, remove pan from heat for 10 seconds. Eggs should look slightly thicker but still glossy.
- Return pan to heat for 20–30 seconds, then remove again. Repeat this on-off heat cycle for about 4–5 minutes.
- Continue stirring until eggs become soft, creamy folds. They should look slightly undercooked but smooth and rich.
- Remove from heat completely and add salt, pepper, and sour cream or crème fraîche. Mix gently to stop cooking.
- Fold in fresh chives for flavor and color. Eggs should be soft, shiny, and custard-like.
- Serve immediately on toast or English muffins while warm.
Notes
Use low and controlled heat to avoid rubbery eggs.
Always salt at the end to keep texture soft and creamy.
Remove eggs slightly early—they finish cooking off heat.
