Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably fresh and large
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter good quality, for richness
  • 1 tablespoon cream full-fat, adds moisture and silkiness
  • to taste sea salt add early for flavor
  • freshly cracked black pepper for flavor, add at the end
  • optional sprinkle fresh herbs chives or parsley, for brightness

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add a pinch of sea salt and a splash of cream.
  2. Whisk gently until the yolks and whites are just combined, creating a smooth, slightly frothy mixture.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over very low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt slowly and develop a nutty aroma without browning.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet once the butter is just shimmering; listen for a gentle sizzle.
  5. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds, then start stirring softly with your spatula, pushing the eggs from edges to center.
  6. Continue stirring slowly and steadily, making gentle folds, for about 30–60 seconds. The eggs should form soft, moist curds with a glossy sheen.
  7. Check for doneness: the eggs should be softly set, still moist, and slightly runny, with a silky texture.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat and give the eggs a final gentle stir; residual warmth will finish the cooking process.
  9. Season with freshly cracked black pepper and sprinkle with chopped herbs if desired, then serve immediately while still silky and moist.

Notes

For extra richness, add a little grated cheese just before serving. Keep heat very low to ensure the eggs stay silky and moist. Stir gently to develop tender curds without overworking the eggs.
