Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Half and Half (can substitute with whole milk or non-dairy option)
Additions
- 4 ounces Boursin Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter (or olive oil for dairy-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (Chives or Parsley)
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup half and half, and 1 teaspoon sea salt until fully combined and foamy. Let the mixture rest for 5-15 minutes to enhance creaminess and improve texture.
- Prepare the Skillet: Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture carefully into the heated skillet and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. This low heat ensures gentle cooking that keeps the eggs soft.
- Scramble Gently: As the edges start to set, use a silicone spatula to gently push the egg mixture from side to side, allowing the uncooked portion to flow and cook evenly.
- Add Boursin Cheese: When the eggs are about half cooked (still moist but firming up), fold in chunks of 4 ounces Boursin cheese. This will melt into the eggs, creating the signature creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Finish Cooking: Continue to fold the eggs gently until they are just cooked through but remain slightly moist and soft. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with freshly ground black pepper and 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs like chives or parsley for color and extra flavor. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Letting the egg mixture rest before cooking enhances creaminess and fluffiness.
- Using medium-low heat prevents the eggs from drying out or becoming rubbery.
- Boursin cheese adds a garlic and herb flavor; feel free to substitute with other soft cheeses if unavailable.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute half and half with a plant-based milk and butter with olive oil.
- Fresh herbs can be customized based on personal preference.
