Though there’s butter, cheese, and sour cream already in the mix, the real star of this decadent egg dish is the earthy, nutty pumpkin seed oil. Toasted pumpkin seeds also add a welcome crunch to the rich, soft-scrambled eggs. This recipe is adapted from chef Markus Glocker of New York City’s Bâtard.

Instructions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. When the foam begins to subside, add the shallot, ham, and pumpkin seeds and cook until the shallots are soft and translucent but still without color, 5–6 minutes. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture just begins to thicken, 6–8 minutes more. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the cheese and sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper, then transfer to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with pumpkin seed oil, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
