French-Style Small Curd Scrambled Eggs

Nutrition-packed, economical, and readily available, eggs really are incredible. And for perfectly cooked scrambled eggs every time, you just need to follow a few basic tenets. Often served on top of toast, these French-style scrambled eggs are almost custard-like. In a nutshell, low(ish) and slow(ish) is the motto to follow. And to form the small curds, stir a lot with a whisk.

Ingredients

Test Kitchen Tip

The key to French-style, creamy, small-curd eggs is whisking the eggs constantly as they cook. While the eggs are still a little wet, but mostly formed into curds, add another tablespoon of cream, and one tablespoon chives, if desired. Again, the eggs should be a little wet looking when you serve them. The residual heat will cook the eggs thoroughly.

Instructions

Whisk together eggs, 1 Tbsp. heavy cream, kosher salt, and black pepper.

Melt butter until foamy, then add egg mixture and follow the steps below for perfectly scrambled eggs.

Off heat, add an additional 1 Tbsp. heavy cream.
