Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt, covering the surface of the skillet evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure the eggs spread out evenly to cover the bottom in a thin layer.
Cook the eggs gently, without stirring, until the edges start to set and pull away from the skillet, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Using a spatula, carefully lift the edges and checks that the bottom is set. Then, flip the egg sheet to cook the other side, for about 1-2 minutes.
Once fully cooked and no longer runny, transfer the egg sheet to a cutting board.
Allow the egg sheet to cool slightly, then roll it up tightly like a jelly roll.
Slice the rolled egg into thin strips, about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide, to create the egg strips.
Serve immediately, or use as a topping for salads or in soups. Enjoy your low carb egg strips warm or at room temperature.
