#### **Step 1: Crack & Prepare the Eggs**
Crack **6 eggs directly into a cold saucepan**. Add **butter** but do **not** season with salt yet.
#### **Step 2: Cook Over Low Heat**
Place the saucepan over **medium-low heat**. Stir the eggs **continuously with a spatula**, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan.
#### **Step 3: Remove From Heat & Stir**
After about **30 seconds**, remove the pan from the heat while still stirring. Let it rest for **10-15 seconds**, then return it to the heat. Repeat this process **3-4 times** until the eggs are **soft and creamy**.
#### **Step 4: Add Crème Fraîche**
Once the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, remove them from the heat and stir in the **crème fraîche**. This will stop the cooking process and add a smooth, velvety texture.
#### **Step 5: Season & Serve**
Season with **salt and pepper** to taste. Garnish with **chopped chives** and serve immediately on **toasted sourdough or brioche**.
