Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and set aside.
Step 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt completely, swirling it to coat the bottom of the skillet.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until the edges begin to set.
Step 5
Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue this process, pausing occasionally to let the liquid egg cook.
Step 6
When the eggs are about halfway cooked and still slightly runny, add the cream cheese cubes evenly across the eggs.
Step 7
Continue gently folding and stirring the eggs, allowing the cream cheese to melt slightly and incorporate. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should be soft and creamy.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat just before the eggs are fully set, as they will continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
Step 9
Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
