Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper until uniformly pale yellow and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering but not browned, then pour in the egg mixture; cook gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until softly set and custardy.
  3. Step 3: Remove from heat, stir in 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, then transfer to plates and dollop with 1/4 cup crème fraîche while still warm, until the eggs are tender and the herbs are fragrant.
