Ingredients

1 servings g (g/serving)
  • 2piece Eggs
  • 10g Butter
  • 20ml Half-and-half
  • 0.30g Salt

Method

  1. Place a non-stick saucepan over medium-low heat.

  2. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, half-and-half, and salt until fully combined.

  3. Add the butter to the warm saucepan. Wait until it melts and foams lightly.

  4. Pour in the eggs mixture. Let it sit for a few seconds without stirring at first.

  5. Then, using a spatula, constantly stir the mixture in a circular motion. This should take around a minute or so.

  6. Take them off the heat before they are nearly done to your taste.

  7. Slide them onto crispy toast. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese or fresh herbs as desired, or simply enjoy them on their own.

Storage

At room temperature: Keep for up to 2 hours.

In the fridge: Let eggs cool, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To serve, reheat in the microwave with a splash of water/milk, or gently warm in a pan over low heat.

In the freezer: Once cooled, place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Note: Texture may become slightly watery after freezing.
