Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely but avoid browning it.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently push the edges of the eggs towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat this process, working slowly, to gently scramble the eggs.
Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly set and slightly creamy. Avoid overcooking, as the eggs will continue to cook slightly off the heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the eggs rest for about 30 seconds before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm with toast, fresh bread, or as a side dish.
