Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably fresh
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted gently
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste, optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Whisk
  • Measuring spoons
  • Stove with low heat setting

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, then add a splash of heavy cream and a pinch of sea salt.
  2. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely blended, slightly frothy, and uniform in color—about 20 seconds.
  3. Place your non-stick skillet over very low heat on the stove, about 200°F (90°C), and add the melted butter, swirling to coat the bottom.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs into the warm skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds until you see gentle bubbles and just a hint of setting at the edges.
  5. Begin stirring slowly with your silicone spatula in gentle figure-eight motions, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. The eggs will start to thicken and look glossy.
  6. Continue stirring constantly, maintaining the low heat. As the eggs gradually form soft curds, they will become more opaque and creamy, resembling soft custard.
  7. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny and glossy, remove the pan from heat. The residual warmth will finish cooking them gently, so don’t overcook.
  8. Give the eggs a final gentle stir, then sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper or additional herbs if desired. Serve immediately while warm, soft, and silky.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in a small pat of butter at the end. Keep the heat low and stir constantly to achieve that luxurious, custard-like texture.
