Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs preferably pasture-raised
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 2 tbsp whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 oz full-fat cream cheese cubed and softened (about 2 tbsp)
  • 0.25 tsp kosher salt plus more to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped, optional for garnish

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • 8-10 inch non-stick or carbon steel skillet
  • Silicone Spatula
  • Fork or small whisk

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, vigorously beat the eggs, milk/cream, and salt for 60 seconds until uniform and slightly frothy.
  2. Place an 8-10 inch non-stick skillet over low heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and melt gently without sizzling.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. Let sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until a thin layer sets at edges.
  4. Using a silicone spatula, gently push eggs from edges toward center. Tilt pan to let uncooked egg fill empty spaces.
  5. Continue folding gently, letting eggs sit for 15-20 seconds between folds, for 8-12 minutes total. Eggs will form large, soft, wet curds.
  6. When eggs are 90% cooked (wet-looking but no runny liquid), remove pan from heat. Immediately add remaining 1 tbsp butter and cubed cream cheese.
  7. Stir continuously off the heat until butter and cream cheese are fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy sauce.
  8. Season with extra salt if needed and plenty of black pepper. Garnish with chives and serve immediately on warm plates.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs and do not increase the heat. Warming your serving plates prevents the eggs from cooling too quickly.
