  3. Beat the eggs in a bowl with a splash of cream or milk and a pinch of salt. Heat a non-stick pan and add butter. Pour in the eggs and cook on low, stirring slowly. Remove from heat when they are soft and slightly runny.
Assembly
  1. Place two slices of toast on each plate, spoon the soft eggs on top, and add fresh berries and a spoon of jam on the side.
  2. Sprinkle herbs and a light dusting of powdered sugar over the fruit if desired. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil or a small pat of butter and a lemon wedge.
