Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs fresh and large
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt to enhance flavor
  • 1 teaspoon heavy cream for silkiness
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for richness and flavor
  • optional fresh herbs chopped chives or parsley, optional

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Whisk or fork

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add a pinch of flaky sea salt and a teaspoon of heavy cream.
  2. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy, about 20 seconds, ensuring whites and yolks are fully integrated.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt gently and foam without browning, releasing a nutty aroma.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds until the edges just begin to set and you hear a gentle sizzle.
  5. Start stirring slowly and gently with your spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center, maintaining a low, steady heat.
  6. Continue stirring gently every 10-15 seconds, watching the eggs turn into soft, silky curds, and keep the heat low to prevent browning.
  7. When the eggs are mostly set but still glossy and slightly runny, remove the skillet from heat. The residual warmth will finish cooking them to perfection.
  8. Gently fold in chopped herbs and a small pat of butter if desired, for extra richness and brightness.
  9. Transfer the creamy scrambled eggs to a plate immediately, serving while still warm and silky for the best texture.

Notes

For extra flavor, add grated cheese off the heat or a dash of freshly cracked black pepper. Keep the heat gentle throughout to achieve that perfect custardy texture.
