Essential Ingredient Guide
- Eggs: Choose fresh, large eggs; they give the best volume and a velvety base.
- Butter: Use real butter for richness; let it melt gently before adding the eggs.
- Milk or Cream: A splash adds silkiness without making the mixture watery.
- Salt & Pepper: Season lightly at the end to preserve the delicate flavor.
- Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of chives or parsley brightens the finished dish.
- Cheese (optional): A crumble of feta or cheddar adds a pleasant bite if desired.

Serve immediately on warm plates; the residual heat will finish cooking the curds to a perfect softness.
