Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes, about half an inch each, and set them aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until it just begins to set at the edges.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs from the edges towards the center, creating soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, scatter the cream cheese cubes evenly over the top.
Continue to gently fold and stir the eggs, letting the cream cheese melt slightly while the eggs finish cooking. Be sure to avoid overcooking; the eggs should remain soft and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat slightly before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook with residual heat.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs!
