Ingredients

6 large eggs
½-1 teaspoon salt or more or less to taste
2-4 tablespoons cream the more cream the fluffier the eggs
1 knob cold butter
Cracked black pepper to serve
Toast for serving (optional)

Instructions

Crack eggs into a bowl.
Add salt and cream. Whisk with a fork until combined.
Do not add pepper yet—it’s best after cooking otherwise could turn the eggs a grey colour.
Place a knob of cold butter in a cold pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Set the stove to low heat.
Let the eggs begin to slowly set without stirring.
Once they just begin to set, gently push the eggs with a spatula to form ribbons.
Repeat: let set slightly, then gently push to form large curds.
As the mixture heats up, curds will form faster—keep gently pushing, not stirring.
Remove from heat just before eggs are fully cooked.
Serve with cracked pepper and toast, if desired.

Notes

This technique works best with 6–12 eggs.
Low heat and patience are key to soft, fluffy curds.
Remove from heat just before they’re done—they’ll finish off the heat.
Delicious on toast.
