Soft Scrambled Eggs on Toast
Servings
2 servings | Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
● 4 large eggs
● 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
● 1 tbsp butter (plus 2 tbsp for browning)
● Salt, to taste
● Freshly cracked black pepper
● 2 slices of sourdough or brioche toast
● 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Instructions
1. Brown the butter: In a small pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat until golden and
nutty. Set aside.
2. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with cream and a pinch of salt until smooth.
3. Soft scramble: In a nonstick skillet, add 1 tbsp butter over low heat. Pour in eggs and stir
constantly with a spatula until creamy curds form (2–3 minutes). Remove from heat just
before fully set.
4. Serve: Spoon eggs over warm toast. Drizzle with brown butter, sprinkle with chives, and
add black pepper to finish.
Chef’s Note
The key to soft, creamy eggs is low heat and constant stirring — patience pays off here.
