Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 slices toast or crusty bread (optional)
Instructions
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and ground black pepper.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, tilting the pan to ensure an even coating.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds, then begin to gently stir with a spatula, scraping from the edges to the center. Continue to stir gently until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
Add the chopped parsley, stirring lightly to combine. Cook for an additional 10-15 seconds, then immediately remove the skillet from heat to avoid overcooking.
Transfer the parsleyed eggs to plates and serve warm, optionally accompanied by toast or crusty bread for dipping.
