- 4 large eggs – farm-fresh if you can get them, they make all the difference
- 2 tablespoons butter – the good stuff, none of that margarine nonsense

- Salt & pepper to taste – go light at first, you can always add more
- Fresh chives – finely chopped, they add the perfect fresh contrast
See? Nothing too crazy – just quality ingredients treated right. Now let’s make some magic!
How to Make Caviar Scrambled Eggs
Okay, let’s get cooking! The secret to perfect caviar scrambled eggs is all in the technique – low and slow is the name of the game here. Follow these steps, and you’ll have restaurant-worthy eggs that’ll impress anyone.
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs and Cream
Crack those beautiful eggs into a bowl and add the heavy cream. Now, here’s my trick – whisk just until the yolks and whites are fully blended, but don’t go crazy. You want them combined, not frothy. Overwhipping makes the eggs tough, and we’re going for cloud-like fluffiness here. A few gentle strokes with a fork or whisk does the job perfectly.
Step 2: Cook the Eggs Slowly
Melt your butter in a non-stick pan over low heat – I mean it, low as your burner goes! Pour in the egg mixture and start stirring immediately with a rubber spatula. Keep those eggs moving constantly in small circular motions. This creates soft, creamy curds instead of rubbery chunks. Patience is key – it should take about 4-5 minutes. When they look slightly underdone (still a bit wet), take them off the heat – they’ll keep cooking from residual heat.
Step 3: Add Caviar and Season
Here’s where the magic happens! Remove the pan from heat entirely before adding the caviar. Gently fold it in with just 2-3 turns of your spatula – you want those delicate pearls to stay whole for little bursts of flavor. Sprinkle with salt (lightly – caviar is already salty!), pepper, and those pretty green chives. Serve immediately while they’re still gloriously creamy. Trust me, that first bite will make you feel like royalty!
Tips for Perfect Caviar Scrambled Eggs
After making these caviar scrambled eggs more times than I can count, I’ve learned a few tricks that take them from good to “Oh my god, what is this sorcery?” level:
- Pan matters: Use a good non-stick pan – those eggs should slide right out without sticking. Nothing ruins luxury faster than scrambled eggs glued to the pan!
- Heat control: Keep that burner low. I’m talking “could melt butter but barely” low. High heat makes rubbery eggs, and we’re aiming for cloud-like perfection.
- Timing is everything: Take them off the heat when they look slightly underdone. They’ll finish cooking on the plate while staying creamy.
- Serve NOW: These wait for no one! Caviar scrambled eggs taste best piping hot, so have your toast ready and your guests seated.
Follow these, and you’ll have people begging for your secret recipe!
Serving Suggestions for Caviar Scrambled Eggs
Now for the fun part – dressing up these luxurious eggs! My favorite way is on thick slices of buttery toasted brioche – the sweetness balances the caviar perfectly. For parties, I’ll serve them on mini blinis with a dollop of crème fraîche. Feeling extra fancy? Add some smoked salmon on the side – it’s a match made in brunch heaven. Just remember – keep portions small and elegant. This isn’t diner food, it’s an experience!
Caviar Scrambled Eggs Variations
Don’t have caviar on hand? No worries – I’ve made plenty of delicious versions of these scrambled eggs with what I had in my fridge! Crème fraîche works beautifully instead of heavy cream, adding a lovely tang. If sturgeon caviar feels too extravagant, try trout roe or salmon roe for a similar pop of briny flavor at half the price. Once, I even used finely chopped smoked oysters in a pinch – shockingly good! The beauty of this recipe is how adaptable it is while still feeling special.
Frequently Asked Questions
I get asked about these caviar scrambled eggs all the time – here are the most common questions from my friends (and random Instagram DMs!):
Can I use frozen caviar? Absolutely! Just thaw it overnight in the fridge first. Frozen caviar works great for cooking – the texture holds up surprisingly well when folded into warm eggs.
How should I store leftovers? Honestly? Don’t! These eggs are best fresh. But if you must, refrigerate for max 1 day and reheat gently with a splash of cream. The caviar will lose its pop though.
What’s the best caviar type for scrambled eggs? My go-to is sturgeon, but salmon roe gives amazing color and flavor at a friendlier price. Avoid super expensive varieties – the subtlety gets lost in eggs.
Can I make this dairy-free? Try coconut cream instead of heavy cream, but the texture changes. For true luxury, stick with dairy – it’s worth it!
