Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese

Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese is a Southern breakfast favorite that brings comfort to the table with its creamy texture and rich flavor. Growing up, weekend mornings meant a warm plate of eggs cooked just right, served alongside biscuits or grits.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs large
  • 2 egg yolks large
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons chives finely chopped
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks (if using), heavy cream, and cream cheese. Let the mixture sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to allow the ingredients to warm up.
  • Whisk the eggs, cream, and cream cheese together thoroughly. It’s okay if the cream cheese doesn’t fully dissolve; it will melt into the eggs as they cook.
  • Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Once the skillet is hot, pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  • Use a rubber or silicone spatula to gently stir the eggs, sweeping the sides and bottom of the pan to move cooked portions aside and let uncooked egg flow to the bottom. If the eggs are cooking too quickly or beginning to brown, remove the skillet from the heat and continue stirring.
  • Keep stirring until the eggs form soft curds and no liquid egg mixture remains. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and transfer the eggs immediately to a serving dish to prevent overcooking.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with finely chopped chives and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add a splash of milk or cream for even creamier eggs.
  • You can omit the egg yolks if you prefer a lighter version.
