1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1/4 cup Half and Half (can substitute with whole milk or non-dairy option)

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.
