Scrambled eggs with chives

Ingredients


• 16 free-range eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup thickened cream
• 24 slices day-old wholegrain bread
• 50g butter, chopped
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Method 

1. Using a whisk, whisk eggs and cream together in a large bowl for 2 minutes (egg should fall in a thin stream from whisk). Set aside until foam has settled.

2. Meanwhile, preheat grill on high heat. Using a 9cm star cookie cutter, cut out 1 star from each bread slice. Place stars in a single layer on grill tray. Grill for 1 minute each side or until toasted. Keep warm until ready to serve.

3. Heat a 28cm (base) non-stick frying pan over medium heat until hot. Add half the butter and swirl to coat pan base. As last of butter melts, add half the egg mixture. Cook for 1 1/2 minutes or until mixture starts to set. Using a spatula, push set egg towards centre of pan, tilting pan to allow uncooked egg to run over base. Cook for 2 minutes or until eggs form creamy curds. Stir in half the chives. Transfer to a plate.

4. Wipe pan with paper towel. Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture and chives. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with toast.
