Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add 1 tbsp heavy cream, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering but not browned, about 1 minute.
  3. Step 3: Pour egg mixture into skillet and gently stir with a silicone spatula for 1 minute until soft curds form. Continue stirring gently for 2 more minutes until eggs are just set but still moist and glossy, avoiding overcooking.
