Scrambled Eggs with Toast

Crack eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and cream (if using). Whisk until well combined.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.

Pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit for 20 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula.

Continue stirring gently every 20 seconds, allowing curds to form. This should take about 3-4 minutes total.

When eggs are almost set but still slightly wet, remove from heat and add remaining butter. The residual heat will finish cooking them.

Toast the bread slices and butter them while warm.

Serve eggs immediately on plates alongside the toast. Garnish with fresh chives if desired.
