Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 large eggs preferably farm-fresh
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter generous pat
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream for richness
  • to taste salt preferably fine sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper optional, for flavor

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds. This aerates the eggs and prepares them for gentle cooking.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and a splash of heavy cream to the eggs. Gently mix to incorporate, which helps keep the eggs moist and tender during cooking.
  3. Place a non-stick pan over very low heat—just enough to warm it without any sizzling. Drop in a generous pat of butter and let it melt slowly, filling the pan with a nutty aroma.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the warm pan. Let it sit untouched for about 10 seconds until it just begins to set around the edges.
  5. Gently stir the eggs with a silicone spatula, pushing from the edges toward the center. Keep the heat low and stir slowly, creating soft, moist curds that look glossy and slightly runny.
  6. Continue stirring gently every 10–15 seconds, watching for a silky, cloud-like texture to form. When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, remove the pan from heat—the residual warmth will finish cooking them to perfection.
  7. Taste and adjust with a little more salt if needed. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper or chopped herbs for added flavor. Serve immediately while the eggs are soft, airy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Notes

For ultra-creamy eggs, keep the heat very low and stir gently. Removing from heat just before they look fully cooked prevents over-drying, ensuring a silky texture.
