How to Make French Scrambled Eggs With Truffle Oil

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 tablespoon of water until light and frothy.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large stainless steel bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Ensure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
  3. Add the whisked eggs to the melted butter. Cook over very low heat, gently stirring constantly with a heatproof rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl to prevent sticking. Cook until the eggs are just beginning to set, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, continuing to stir and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl until the eggs are thick, creamy, and cooked through but still slightly moist, about 5 more minutes.
  5. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the scrambled eggs to warm plates.
  7. Drizzle generously with high-quality truffle oil, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped chives, and serve immediately with toasted brioche slices.
