Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground paprika
- 0.25 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon scallions, finely sliced
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to let the edges set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping along the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring gently to create soft curds.
When the eggs are about 75% cooked but still creamy, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese into the eggs.
Once the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and tender, remove them from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
Garnish with chopped parsley and sliced scallions. Serve immediately with your favorite toast or side.
