Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for French-Style Scrambled Eggs
  1. Start by cracking 4 large eggs into a cold, clean nonstick saucepan. Using a whisk, mix the eggs until completely smooth, ensuring there are no visible streaks of yolk or egg white.
  2. Incorporate 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter directly into the egg mixture. The cold butter will melt gently while cooking.
  3. Place the saucepan on the lowest heat setting and stir continuously with a rubber spatula, making gentle figure-eights.
  4. After about 8–10 minutes of continuous stirring, the egg mixture will begin to thicken and resemble a creamy custard.
  5. Once you've reached your desired consistency, stir in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or crème fraîche and season with salt and white pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the luxurious French-Style Scrambled Eggs onto warm plates for serving and garnish with freshly chopped chives.
