Ingredients
12 large eggs
4 tablespoons creme fraiche
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Optional Additions:
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 cup romesco
4 ounces bucheron cheese
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until light and frothy and uniform in color. Strain the eggs through a mesh strainer into a bowl. Whisk in the creme fraiche.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat until it melts. Add the eggs and gently mix using a heat resistant rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until soft curds form.
- Remove from the heat (the eggs will still be somewhat wet), season with salt and pepper and let the heat of the pan finish cooking them for another 1 minute. Gently fold in any of the Optional Additions just as the eggs are coming off the heat, if using.
