cherry tomatoes 10

heavy cream 2 tablespoons

butter 2 pieces (about 20g)

water 1/4 cup

salt about 4 pinches

pepper 1 pinch

Recipe

Crack the eggs into a bowl, then add salt 3 pinches, heavy cream 2 tablespoons, water 1/4 cup, and 1 pinch of pepper for removing any raw smell. Beat thoroughly with a whisk until well combined.
Heat the pan, then reduce the flame to medium-low and melt 1 piece of butter (about 10g).
Once the butter has melted, add the 10 cherry tomatoes and 1 pinch of salt. Sauté gently for about 2 minutes until golden and flavorful, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
Adjust the pan to low heat and melt the remaining 1 piece of butter (about 10g).
Pour in the beaten egg mixture and continuously stir using chopsticks, scraping the bottom while drawing circular motions to form soft, fluffy curds.
Turn off the gas when the egg mixture is about 80% cooked and starting to clump softly.
Remove the pan from the stove and finish cooking using only residual heat to maintain a moist, tender texture.
Arrange the finished scrambled eggs on a serving dish and top with the previously sautéed cherry tomatoes for an appealing presentation.

Mix eggs with heavy cream, water, salt, and pepper to make a smooth egg mixture.
Melt butter in a pan and sauté cherry tomatoes with a pinch of salt until golden, then remove and set aside.
Add butter and egg mixture to the pan over low heat, gently stirring to create soft scrambled eggs, then serve with the tomatoes.

Cooking tips

Always mix water into the egg mixture to prevent it from becoming sticky during cooking and to maximize its soft, moist texture.
Heavy cream enhances the rich, creamy flavor and gives the scrambled eggs a smoother mouthfeel—this is the secret to a perfect scramble.
Cooking over high heat will result in firm, rubbery eggs instead of soft, tender ones. Always use low heat and finish with residual heat.
Adding a pinch of salt when sautéing cherry tomatoes brings out their sweetness and intensifies the savory umami flavor.
