Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chervil, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk gently with a fork until fully combined but not overly frothy.
Add the heavy cream and whisk lightly to incorporate. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Once melted, swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for about 30 seconds undisturbed.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, scraping the bottom of the pan as you go, to form soft curds.
Remove the pan from the heat before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, tarragon, and chervil, folding gently to distribute the herbs evenly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately on warm plates, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh fines herbes if desired.
