Instructions
- 1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the half-and-half and kosher salt, then whisk until the eggs look smooth and fully blended.
- 2. Set a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. When the butter melts and foams, reduce the heat slightly so the pan stays gentle.
- 3. Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds, then use a silicone spatula to stir slowly, scraping the bottom and folding the eggs into soft curds.
- 4. When the eggs are mostly set but still glossy, stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese and keep folding until the cheese begins to melt.
- 5. Drizzle in the Carolina Reaper Pepper Infused Olive Oil and fold once more so the pepper heat spreads through the eggs without overcooking them.
- 6. Remove the skillet from the heat, spoon the eggs onto warm plates, and finish with chopped chives and a pinch of black pepper.
- 7. Serve right away while the eggs are soft, creamy, and still hot from the pan.
Notes
For the softest texture, keep the skillet at medium-low and avoid rushing the scramble. Add the infused oil at the end so its pepper character stays bright and clean. This recipe is best served immediately.
