Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Truffle oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
- 2 slices Toast or crusty bread (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and smooth.
Add the heavy cream to the beaten eggs and whisk gently to incorporate. This will make the eggs extra creamy.
Place a nonstick skillet or saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt gently, ensuring it doesn't brown.
Once the butter is melted, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Using a silicone spatula, stir the eggs continuously, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan to ensure even cooking.
Cook the eggs low and slow while stirring. As they start to thicken, take the pan off the heat for a few seconds and continue stirring to control the temperature and prevent overcooking.
Repeat the on-and-off heat process until the eggs form soft, creamy curds. This process usually takes about 7-10 minutes.
Once the eggs reach your desired creaminess, remove them from the heat completely. Stir in the salt, pepper, and truffle oil gently to combine, maintaining the delicate texture.
Divide the scrambled eggs between two plates or bowls. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped chives for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve immediately with slices of toast or crusty bread on the side, if desired.
