Australian all-day cafes have been popping up all over New York City, and each one offers some rendition of a “folded egg”: a large, circular, scramble-omelet hybrid with ruffles that sort of resemble a rose. It’s often plated atop a piece of avocado toast, or served alongside sliced avocado and veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
Procedure
- Whisk the eggs, cream, a pinch of salt, and several grinds black pepper together in a medium bowl until combined.
- Melt the butter in a medium nonstick frying pan over high heat until sizzling and very hot but not browned (the butter should sizzle if you flick a bit of water into the pan).
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan — the edges should be pop and sizzle, similar to making a fried egg. Let sit, undisturbed, for 15 to 20 seconds (the eggs should be beginning to set around the edges).
- Use a rubber spatula to push the eggs around the perimeter of the pan in a circular motion, tilting the pan slightly, if needed, so that the runny eggs in the center run out to the perimeter.
- Repeat until most of the eggs are just set and the very center is still slightly wet looking, 20 to 30 seconds.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to a plate or piece of toast; they should slide out of the pan in one piece like an omelet. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
