Units: US Metric
  • 4 eggs
  • 120 ml cream
  • 15 ml butter
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Cayenne
  • 30 ml grated cheese
Make it lactose-friendly

  • 1 tablespoon butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Heat a small omelet pan, put in butter, and when melted, add cream. Slip in the eggs one at a time, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a few grains of cayenne. When whites are nearly firm, sprinkle with cheese. Finish cooking, and serve on buttered toast. Strain cream over the toast.
