My Luxury Scrambled Eggs with Cream & Butter recipe includes my tips and tricks for making the most delicious, rich and unctuous eggs with minimal faffing in just a few minutes. Perfect for breakfast, a quick snack or decadent supper.
Add 80ml Double Cream and ½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes to the eggs.
Whisk until fully combined.
Add 1 tbsp Salted Butter to a small cold frying pan.
Heat the pan over a medium heat until the butter is just melted.
Turn the heat to the lowest setting then add the egg/cream mix. Use a silicone spatula to make sure you don't waste anything in the bowl.
Turn the heat back up and use the spatula to slowly scrape around the edge then middle of the pan.
As soon as any egg starts to solidify on the bottom on the pan, you want to be releasing it and letting liquid egg come into contact with the heat.
Once you start seeing the curds forming, turn the heat back down to medium low. You want the eggs to be cooking but not so fast. Continue gently scraping the sides and bottom of the pan.
Once there is more set curds then liquid, take the pan off the heat.
Continue to stir and scrape off the heat until there is no liquid left. Remember that with the cream in the mix, the eggs will look very very soft but are not undercooked.
Serve up the eggs straight away. If they continue to sit in the pan they will overcook in seconds.
Notes
I generally use large eggs but you can use whatever size you prefer in this recipe. Obviously the size you use will determine how much scrambled egg you will end up with.
You also don't need to be exact with the amount of cream or butter. But don't skimp if you still want them to be decadent.
If you increase the quantities you are making, be prepared for the eggs to take longer to cook. It is a good idea to use a larger frying pan so there is more hot surface for the eggs to have contact with rather than a taller saucepan.
