What Is Creme Fraiche?
Creme fraiche is a French staple, often referred to as European sour cream.
Ive found it in my local Fred Meyer, Costco, and Asian supermarkets.
Creme fraiche is high in fat and mildly nutty and tangy in flavor.
Treat it like a risotto.
You cant stop stirring.
The result is silky, smooth scrambled eggs.
The residual heat from the saucepan keeps the eggs warm, but wont continue cooking them.
What If You Don’t Have Creme Fraiche?
Now, if you dont have access to creme fraiche, dont fret.
Swap it with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Finally, add chopped chives or scallions before serving for another layer of flavor and a pop of color.
And my favorite way to enjoy these perfectly cooked scrambled eggs?
Over milk bread toast or steamed white rice with a drizzle of chili crisp.
