Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 slices rustic bread (optional, for serving)
- 2 ounces smoked salmon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the fresh dill and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and melt the butter, making sure it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Use a soft spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue to stir intermittently, cooking slowly to ensure the mixture stays creamy.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, add the chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Gently fold everything together.
Remove the skillet from the heat a few seconds before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
Serve warm, paired with rustic bread or topped with smoked salmon, if desired.
