Ingredients
Ingredients scaled to 2 servings
- 6 egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon sour cream
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Preparation
- Step 1Add the butter to a pan set over medium heat.
- Step 2Crack the eggs directly into the pan. Do not whisk the eggs before adding them to the pan.
- Step 3Stir the eggs continuously with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan. Remove the pan from the heat periodically to prevent overcooking while continuing to stir. Repeat this on-and-off heat process until the eggs are creamy and just set.
- Step 4Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the sour cream, salt, and pepper.
Notes
- Never season the eggs before cooking.
- The residual heat continues to cook the eggs off the heat, so removing the pan prevents them from becoming rubbery.
- Sour cream or creme fraiche adds a luxurious texture and stops the cooking process.
