Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chervil, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk gently with a fork until fully combined but not overly frothy.
Step 2
Add the heavy cream and whisk lightly to incorporate. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Once melted, swirl the pan to coat evenly.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit for about 30 seconds undisturbed.
Step 5
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, scraping the bottom of the pan as you go, to form soft curds.
Step 6
Remove the pan from the heat before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, tarragon, and chervil, folding gently to distribute the herbs evenly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Serve immediately on warm plates, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh fines herbes if desired.
