heavy whipping cream

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). This step is optional but recommended for achieving an ultra-fluffy texture.
2
Soften the cream cheese until it's easy to blend. This will ensure a smooth incorporation into the egg mixture.
3
In a mixing bowl, crack open the three eggs. Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and heavy whipping cream.
4
In a skillet over medium heat, add the butter and allow it to melt until bubbly but not browned.
5
Using a high-speed blender or electric whisk, whip the egg mixture at a high speed to infuse air and create a light texture.
6
Pour the whipped egg mixture into the hot skillet. Allow it to cook gently, stirring continuously.
7
Monitor the eggs as they begin to set. Decide on your desired texture: for creamier eggs, cook until just set; for firmer eggs, let them cook longer in the skillet.
8
For an extra fluffy finish, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven after the eggs have started to set. Allow them to cook for an additional 3–5 minutes or until they are lightly golden and fluffy.
9
Once they reach your preferred degree of doneness, remove from the heat and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
10
Optional: For a cheesy twist, add your favorite cheese about 2 minutes before removing them from the oven, allowing it to melt gloriously over the eggs.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful breakfast!
