Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs preferably farm-fresh
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter preferably fresh
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream optional, for extra silkiness
  • pinch sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper optional, for seasoning

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add a pinch of sea salt and a splash of heavy cream. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 20 seconds. This creates a uniform mixture of yolks and whites, ready for gentle cooking.
  2. Preheat your non-stick pan over the lowest heat setting—just enough to warm gently, about 90°C (194°F). Add the teaspoon of butter and let it melt slowly, swirling the pan so it coats the surface evenly. You should hear a gentle sizzling and see the butter foaming softly.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 10-15 seconds until the edges just start to set and look slightly opaque. You’ll notice a gentle sizzle and the eggs beginning to firm at the bottom.
  4. Using your silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft folds. Keep the motion slow and deliberate, stirring every 15-20 seconds. The eggs should look glossy and slightly runny, forming tender curds.
  5. Maintain the low heat and continue stirring gently, folding and pushing the eggs around the pan. The mixture will thicken and become velvety, with the curds softening further. The process takes about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are just lightly moist and glossy.
  6. Once the eggs look silky, glossy, and slightly jiggle when shaken, remove the pan from heat. Let them rest for 30 seconds to finish setting off heat, ensuring they stay tender and moist.
  7. Gently transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper and additional sea salt if desired. Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the luxurious, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in grated cheese or fresh herbs just before serving. Keep the heat low throughout to ensure a silky, custard-like texture.
