Ingredients:
- 30 Large Organic Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Cream of Tartar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.5 tsp White Pepper
- 2 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Freshly snipped chives
Instructions:
- Crack all 30 eggs into a very large mixing bowl. Note: Using a separate small bowl to crack each egg first prevents a single bad egg or shell from ruining the whole batch.
- Whisk the eggs vigorously until no streaks of white remain. You want a completely uniform, pale yellow liquid to ensure even cooking.
- Create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and cream of tartar with a splash of the heavy cream. Note: This prevents clumps of starch from forming in your eggs.
- Pour the slurry and the remaining heavy cream into the eggs, then add the salt and white pepper. Whisk again for one full minute to incorporate air.
- Place a large, heavy bottomed skillet over medium low heat and add the butter. Wait until the butter is foaming and sizzling but not browning.
- Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. Let it sit for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
- Use a large silicone spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the raw egg to flow into the hot space.
- Continue this fold and push motion slowly. Note: Aggressive stirring creates small, dry crumbles; slow folds create large, velvety clouds.
- When the eggs are 80% cooked and still look slightly wet, sprinkle the shredded cheddar over the top and fold once more.
- Remove the pan from the heat until the cheese is just beginning to melt. The residual heat will finish the cooking process perfectly.
- Transfer immediately to a pre warmed serving dish and garnish with the freshly snipped chives.
