Ingredients

• 4 whole eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside for garnishing.

Step 4

Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter.

Step 5

Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit without stirring for about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.

Step 8

Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs to a creamy consistency.

Step 10

Transfer the Ovos Mexidos to plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 11

Serve immediately with toasted bread or fresh vegetables.
