History of Scrambled Eggs

While scrambled eggs have been around for centuries, each culture has its own approach, from the delicate French-style “oeufs brouillés” to heartier English versions. This recipe takes inspiration from traditional methods, emphasizing the gentle cooking process to achieve that soft, custard-like texture, enhanced by the richness of fresh cream and butter.

Ingredients

The beauty of creamy scrambled eggs lies in their simplicity, but it’s crucial to use fresh, quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 large eggs (free-range or organic for the best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
  • Salt (to taste, preferably fine sea salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for garnish (optional)

Note: While heavy cream adds the ultimate creaminess, a splash of milk or half-and-half can also work. Just be mindful that lighter creams may affect the texture.
