    • With a fork, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt and pepper.
    • Avoid creating a froth when whisking the eggs, to avoid a crust around the edge of the pan
    • Heat the butter in a pan on medium heat, then carefully pour egg mixture into pan.
    • Allow the eggs to cook a little until you have a layer of egg at the bottom of the pan, then begin gently scrambling.

    • The eggs will continue to cook just a little.
    • Spoon equal amounts of creme fraiche into bowls.
