1 cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon
8 large eggs
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.

In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of the tarragon, and a pinch of salt.

Set aside.

In a small skillet, melt 1 1/2 teaspoons of the butter over medium-high heat.
