Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup (sliced) black olives
- 0.5 cup (sliced) green olives
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 slices bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let the butter melt and coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom frequently to create soft egg curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still quite soft, add the sliced black and green olives. Fold them gently into the eggs to combine.
Continue cooking the eggs until they are just set but still creamy. Avoid overcooking to preserve the soft texture.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh and aromatic finish.
Serve the Eggs Olives immediately on their own or with slices of toasted bread on the side.
