Ingredients
4 large eggs
¼ cup half-and-half
A pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
¼ wedge Boursin cheese (about 1 ⅓ ounces or 2–3 tablespoons), cut into chunks
Freshly ground black pepper to taste, for serving
Fresh herbs, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the half-and-half and a pinch of sea salt.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously until the eggs are light, foamy, and completely combined. Let it sit for 5-15 minutes to ensure the creamiest texture.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the butter and let it melt, ensuring the entire skillet is coated and the butter begins to foam.
- Pour the egg mixture directly into the skillet, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the eggs sit for a moment.
- Scramble the Eggs:
- As the edges of the eggs begin to set, gently push the egg mixture from one side to the other using a silicone spatula. Pause to let the eggs cook before repeating from the opposite side. Continue this process until the eggs are about 50% cooked, with a mix of solid and liquid egg.
- Add the Boursin Cheese:
- When the eggs are halfway cooked, add the chunks of Boursin cheese. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs, continuing to cook until they are fully set but still creamy.
- Serve:
- Portion the scrambled eggs onto plates and top with freshly ground black pepper and chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Spicy Version: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the egg mixture for a little kick.
- Vegetarian Option: Serve the eggs with sautéed spinach or mushrooms for added flavor.
- Cheese Variety: Swap Boursin for cream cheese or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
