Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs fresh and large
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter helps achieve a silky texture
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream optional, for extra richness
  • pinch sea salt to enhance flavor
  • freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and gently whisk until just combined, with no streaks remaining.
  2. Place the non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Let it melt slowly until it’s foamy but not browned, filling the air with a warm, nutty aroma.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, letting them sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds. Observe how they start to gently set around the edges.
  4. Begin stirring slowly with the silicone spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft curds. Maintain low heat to keep the texture tender and creamy.
  5. Continue stirring steadily, making slow folds every 30 seconds. Keep the movement gentle to prevent the eggs from becoming dry or rubbery.
  6. After about 3-4 minutes, add the heavy cream and a pinch of sea salt, folding them gently into the eggs. Watch as the mixture becomes luxuriously smooth and velvety.
  7. Remove the skillet from heat just before the eggs are fully set; the residual warmth will finish cooking them to a soft, custard-like consistency.
  8. Give the eggs a final gentle fold, then transfer them immediately onto warm plates or toast. The eggs should be silky, moist, and softly curdled, ready to enjoy.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle with fresh herbs or a dash more pepper just before serving. Keep stirring gently to maintain the silky texture, and serve immediately for the best experience.
