  1. In a bowl,gently whisk 2 eggs with one egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of cream,and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt a little butter and olive oil in a non-stick or cast-iron frypan over high heat,swirl to allow it to coat the base,and pour in the egg mixture. Leave it over medium heat for about 15 seconds to help set the egg on the bottom.
  3. Now,get in there with a rubber or wooden spatula and drag the egg mix from one side of the pan to the other. Wait 5 seconds for that to set,then push the cooked egg back to the other side,allowing the non-cooked egg to run free.
  4. From now on,just push the cooked egg into the uncooked egg,tilting the pan slightly each time. Do this three or four times,rotating the cooked egg each time,and it will gather up the uncooked egg and fold it into itself. (You can lift the egg to help any unset egg on top run back into the pan and cook). That’s it,all over in less than a minute.
  5. The finished eggs should be rippled with soft,golden folds. Gently slide them onto buttered toast,and serve hot. Or take it onto TikTok and go viral.
