The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science

  1.  Combine the eggs,   egg yolks,  and salt    in  a   medium  bowl

    and whisk until homogeneous and frothy, about 1
    minute. Allow to rest at room temperature for at least 15
    minutes. The eggs should darken in color significantly.



  2. Add the chilled butter to the eggs, then transfer the
    mixture to a 10-inch nonstick skillet, place over medium-
    low heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until the butter
    completely melts and the eggs begin to set. As the eggs
    become firmer, stir more rapidly to break up the large
    curds, and continue to cook until no liquid egg remains.

  3. Remove the pan from heat, add the heavy cream, and,
    stir constantly for 15 seconds; the eggs should be
    completely tender with a custard-like texture that just
    barely holds a shape when you pile them up. Transfer to
    a plate and serve immediately.
