Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large farm-fresh eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted high-quality butter
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Fine sea salt
- 1 pinch White pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Crème fraîche(optional)
- 2 tablespoons Gruyère cheese, finely grated(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with the heavy cream, salt, and white pepper until no streaks of egg white remain.
- 2
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt until it foams but does not brown.
- 3
Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan and let it sit for exactly 10 seconds to begin setting.
- 4
Using a silicone spatula, use small circular motions to create very fine curds, similar to the texture of a soft scramble.
- 5
Continuously shake the pan back and forth with your other hand while stirring to ensure the eggs remain creamy and custard-like.
- 6
When the eggs are 80% cooked and still look slightly wet, sprinkle the grated Gruyère over the top if using.
- 7
Fold the eggs over themselves gently and remove from heat immediately; the residual heat will finish the cooking process.
- 8
Garnish with fresh chives and a dollop of crème fraîche before serving on a warmed plate.
