Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside for garnishing.
Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter.
Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to a creamy consistency.
Transfer the Ovos Mexidos to plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with toasted bread or fresh vegetables.
