Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ¼-inch cubes and chilled
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream or crème fraîche

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks, and kosher salt. Whisk the mixture until it becomes homogeneous and frothy, which usually takes about 1 minute. Allow the egg mixture to rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes. During this time, you’ll notice the eggs darkening in color significantly.
2. Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the rested eggs. Transfer the egg and butter mixture to a 10-inch nonstick skillet and place it over medium-low heat.
3. Cook the eggs while stirring constantly until the butter completely melts and the eggs start to set. As the eggs become firmer, increase the stirring speed to break up the large curds and ensure even cooking.
4. Continue to cook the eggs, stirring rapidly, until no liquid egg remains. The eggs should have a creamy and custard-like texture at this point.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the heavy cream or crème fraîche to the eggs. Stir the mixture constantly for about 15 seconds to incorporate the cream and ensure a smooth, creamy finish.
6. The creamy scrambled eggs should be completely tender, with a texture that barely holds its shape when piled up on a plate.
7. Transfer the delicious creamy scrambled eggs to a serving plate and serve immediately.

Now, savor the velvety goodness of these creamy scrambled eggs, which are sure to become a breakfast favorite. The combination of egg yolks, butter, and heavy cream creates a luscious and indulgent dish that will make your mornings extra special. Serve these eggs with toast, fresh herbs, or your favorite breakfast sides for a truly delightful experience. Enjoy!
