Gently crack eggs all over and peel, starting from the fat end containing the air pocket. Blot eggs dry with a kitchen towel. Halve lengthwise then coarsely chop; transfer to bowl with scallion mixture. Stir vigorously to combine (yolks should more or less dissolve into sauce). Taste and season with more salt if needed and freshly ground pepper.
