Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly with the milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook for 10-15 seconds, undisturbed, until they start to set around the edges.
Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet and folding the eggs over themselves to create soft curds.
Once the eggs are about halfway cooked (still glossy and slightly runny), add the cream cheese in small dollops scattered across the surface.
Continue stirring gently to incorporate the cream cheese, allowing it to melt into the eggs.
When the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy, remove the skillet from the heat.
Fold in the chopped chives and give the eggs one final stir.
Serve immediately and garnish with extra chives if desired.
