Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 60 grams Cream cheese
- 10 grams Butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them gently with a whisk or fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes, approximately 1 cm in size, and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft folds. Continue this process slowly, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
When the eggs are about 80% cooked and still slightly runny, scatter the cream cheese cubes evenly over the eggs.
Continue cooking gently, folding the eggs over the cream cheese until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy. Avoid overcooking to maintain the texture.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates.
Garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
