Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Crack six fresh large eggs into a mixing bowl and beat gently until just combined.
Fold in two tablespoons of heavy cream for extra creaminess without fully blending.
Melt two tablespoons of unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
Gently stir the eggs in a circular motion with a spatula for about two minutes.
Let the eggs rest for 20 seconds between gentle stirs to maintain creaminess.
Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny.
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Scoop the scrambled eggs onto warm plates and garnish with fresh herbs.
