Ingredients
4 large fresh free-range eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Fresh black truffle or 1 teaspoon high-quality truffle oil
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish optional
Optional Add-ins
Grated Parmesan or Gruyère cheese for extra richness
Sautéed mushrooms for an earthy flavor boost
A pinch of nutmeg for subtle warmth
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk gently until the yolks and whites are just combined
Add the heavy cream salt and black pepper and whisk lightly to incorporate air without overmixing
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat until melted and slightly foamy
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook slowly stirring gently with a heat-resistant spatula to create soft curds
When the eggs are nearly set but still creamy remove from heat as residual heat will finish cooking them
Shave fresh truffle over the eggs or drizzle with truffle oil gently folding to distribute the flavor
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture
Notes
Cook the eggs over low heat to achieve a creamy velvety texture
If using truffle oil add it after cooking to preserve its delicate aroma
Store fresh truffles with eggs in an airtight container for a few days to naturally infuse the eggs with truffle flavor
Avoid over-salting as truffles have a naturally intense flavor that shines with minimal seasoning
