A quick and easy recipe for creamy scrambled eggs enhanced with fresh chives and tangy sour cream, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat sour cream (can substitute Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped (green onions can be used as a substitute)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or cream (dairy-free milk if needed)
  • Optional: shredded cheddar or parmesan cheese for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the sour cream. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until smooth and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the chopped chives, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix briefly to combine.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt slowly without browning.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until edges start to set but the center remains soft.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Stir slowly and continuously, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to form soft curds. Keep the heat low.
  6. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until eggs are mostly set but still slightly shiny and creamy.
  7. Remove the pan from heat just before the eggs are fully cooked. Give a final gentle stir and transfer the eggs to a warm plate immediately to stop cooking.

Notes

Use low heat and stir gently to keep eggs creamy and avoid dryness. Remove from heat just before fully cooked as eggs continue cooking off the heat. Fresh chives add brightness and balance the richness of sour cream. Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt or dairy-free creams if needed.
