Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Butter - 30 grams
• Heavy cream - 30 milliliters
• Fresh parsley - 10 grams, chopped
• Fresh chives - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
3. Once the butter is bubbling, pour in the egg mixture and reduce the heat to low.
4. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, allowing them to cook slowly until they begin to set but are still slightly runny.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook off the heat.
6. Stir in the chopped parsley and chives, combining well.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
