Ingredient Notes

1 cup eggs — around four large eggs should suffice. 2 tablespoons full-fat cream — substitutes can be milk or any non-dairy alternatives. 1 pound of butter — just a pinch actually, for extra creaminess! 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese — you could always switch it for your cheese of choice.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs and cream together in a bowl until well mixed.
  2. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  4. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
  5. Gently stir the eggs and continue cooking until slightly runny.
  6. Sprinkle cheese on top, then fold the eggs over themselves.
  7. Cook for another minute or so, until the cheese has melted and eggs are cooked to your liking.
  8. Serve hot.

Things I’ve Learned

Using cream adds richness to the eggs. Ensure that the pan isn’t too hot; otherwise, the eggs will cook too quickly and won’t be as creamy. Finishing with cheese gives extra flavor, but you can omit it and still have great results if you prefer.

FAQs

Q: Can I use a different cheese?

A: Absolutely! Experiment with your favorites.

Q: I’m dairy-free, can I still make this?

A: Yes, use non-dairy alternatives for the cream and omit the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
