Description
A rich and creamy twist on classic scrambled eggs, featuring Mexican crema for a smooth, velvety texture with a deliciously mild tang. Perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Mexican crema (or sour cream as a substitute)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or olive oil)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or Cotija cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro or chives (for garnish)
- Warm tortillas or toast, for serving
Instructions
-
Whisk the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Mexican crema, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until smooth.
-
Heat the Pan:
- In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
-
Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let sit for a few seconds, then stir gently with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center.
- Cook slowly, stirring frequently, until the eggs are soft, fluffy, and just set.
-
Serve & Garnish:
- Remove from heat and top with crumbled queso fresco and fresh cilantro or chives.
- Serve immediately with warm tortillas or toast.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sautéed onions, jalapeños, or diced tomatoes.
- Mexican crema is key for its smooth texture, but sour cream or heavy cream can be used as substitutes.
- Cook on low heat for soft, velvety eggs—high heat makes them dry.
