A Fresh Take on a Classic Recipe
When it comes to breakfast, scrambled eggs are a staple in many households. But why settle for the same old recipe when you can add a twist to make it truly unforgettable? We’re shaking things up by incorporating cream cheese into the mix, resulting in a rich, velvety scramble that’s sure to impress.
The Magic of Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is often relegated to spreading on bagels or using in baked goods, but it’s a game-changer when added to scrambled eggs. The tangy flavor and creamy texture take this breakfast dish to new heights. Plus, it’s a cinch to incorporate – simply stir it in towards the end of cooking and watch as it melts into a golden, cheesy goodness.
A Fresh and Elegant Breakfast Option
To take this recipe to the next level, we’re adding a burst of freshness with coarsely chopped herbs. Choose from dill, chives, parsley, chervil, or a combination to create a beautiful and flavorful breakfast that’s perfect for special occasions or everyday indulgence. Serve with toast and a refreshing melon salad on the side for a well-rounded meal.
Recipe Breakdown
Servings: 4
Difficulty: Easy
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (not nonfat)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, chives, parsley, chervil, or a combination)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Whisk Together Egg Mixture: Combine eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk until eggs are broken up and mixture is thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Melt Butter and Cook Eggs: Melt butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until foaming. Pour in egg mixture and let sit undisturbed until eggs just start to set around edges, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add Cream Cheese and Herbs: Using a rubber spatula, push eggs from edges into center. Scatter cream cheese pieces over eggs and gently stir to combine. Let sit again until edges start to set, then spread back into an even layer. Repeat every 30 seconds until eggs are almost set and cheese is melted and combined, about 4-5 minutes.
- Finishing Touches: Remove pan from heat and sprinkle in chopped herbs. Gently stir to combine and serve immediately.
