Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 slices sourdough bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Finely chop the fresh chives and parsley and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt gently without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a spatula, stir the eggs continuously and slowly in small circles, scraping the bottom of the pan as they cook.
After about 4-5 minutes, as the eggs begin to thicken but are still creamy, stir in the chopped herbs. Continue stirring for another minute until just set but still soft and silky.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to avoid overcooking. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs to perfection.
If desired, toast the sourdough bread slices and serve the elegant eggs over the toast or on the side.
Garnish with additional chopped herbs, if preferred, and serve immediately.
