Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with 1 tbsp of the heavy cream, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until just combined.

  2. 2

    Melt the 1 tbsp butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it set for 30 seconds without stirring.

  3. 3

    Gently push the eggs with a spatula from the edges toward the center, folding occasionally, until they are softly set and still glossy, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Toss the 2 cups arugula with the remaining 1 tbsp heavy cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Divide the dressed arugula between two plates.

  5. 5

    Spoon the soft scrambled eggs over the arugula and serve immediately.
