Can you fry with cream? Absolutely, you can! Try these fried eggs in heavy cream!
These cream fried eggs are cooked in a nontraditional way, involving a combination of steaming and frying. Cooking eggs in heavy cream works because the liquid quickly boils off, leaving you with butter fat to fry the egg in and caramelized butter solids that add a new flavor dimension to the eggs. It's a great way to use left over heavy cream!

I believe you are cooking the eggs on a Control Freak. If so, can you provide the temperature used?
