For the scrambled eggs

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil for a double boiler.
  2. Break the eggs into a bowl, season with pepper and add the butter.
  3. Place the bowl over the simmering water and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggs are creamy but not dry.
  4. Remove from the heat.

  2. Place the scrambled eggs in the center. Season with a little fleur de sel and some chives.
