Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- a pinch of sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper (optional)
- chives or fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk for about 30 seconds until yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy.
- Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or whole milk. Whisk gently until smooth.
- Season lightly with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper if using.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and let it melt slowly without browning.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until edges start to set.
- Begin gentle stirring with a rubber spatula, folding eggs from edges toward the center to keep curds soft.
- Cook slowly, stirring every 15-20 seconds for about 4-5 minutes until eggs look glossy and slightly undercooked.
- Remove from heat just before fully set and transfer immediately to a warm plate.
- Garnish with fresh chives or herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Cook eggs slowly over low heat and stir gently to avoid rubbery texture. Remove from heat just before fully set to let residual heat finish cooking. Use fresh eggs and room temperature eggs for best fluffiness. Butter is preferred over oil for richness.
