Servings: 2
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon half-and-half
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 dashes sriracha sauce (optional)
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese and chopped chives.
- Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted and lightly bubbling.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to sit briefly before gently stirring.
- Cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are softly set and creamy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Divide onto serving plates and, if desired, add a light drizzle or line of sriracha for a touch of heat.
Chefs Notes
- For extra creamy eggs, cook over medium-low heat and stir gently—low and slow is key.
- Goat cheese melts quickly, so avoid overmixing once it’s added to maintain small creamy pockets.
- Fresh chives add brightness, but green onions can be substituted in a pinch.
- Serve immediately for best texture—scrambled eggs continue to cook after being removed from heat.
- Pairs perfectly with toasted sourdough and crispy bacon for a complete breakfast.
