Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices fresh bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

While the garlic is cooking, crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly with a spatula to combine with the garlic.

Step 6

Cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently and continuously, to create a soft and creamy scramble. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

Step 7

Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately with fresh slices of bread, if desired.
