Spicy Heavy Cream Eggs ❤️🍳 Something freaking magical happens when you fry eggs in heavy cream. The sugars in the heavy cream caramelizes, similar to what happens when you brown butter and the results are sublime, especially with a bit of salsa Macha or chili crisp!

Why You’ll Love Spicy Heavy Cream Eggs

The heavy cream caramelizes into the dreamiest sauce, that also fries the eggs without them sticking, much like butter would do. It is a nice change from the classic over easy eggs in my opinion. Trust me, you won’t be going back to plain boring eggs after you try this one!

How To Prepare Spicy Heavy Cream Eggs

🔥 First, preheat a pan for 2 minutes on high. Then, add in heavy cream and chili crisp. Lower heat to medium and simmer for 1 minute.

🍳 Secondly, add in eggs and cover. Then, cook like this for 2-3 minutes until the whites set.

🌶 Lastly, top with chives, seasoned eggs and chili crisp.

Substitutions and Variations

  1. You can use chili crisp or chili oil if you don’t have Salsa Macha.
  2. If you don’t like spicy recipes you can leave the spice totally out! The heavy cream still makes a delicious sauce and you can top it with eggs. It will be sublime!
  3. I understand some people don’t love a runny yolk *GASPS AUDIBLY* but for you, I do have my Heavy Cream Scrambled Eggs!
  4. You can use your favorite herbs or any herbs of your choice instead of chives.

Chef Nadia’s Tip

Make sure you let the heavy cream and chili crisp caramelize!
