A rich and velvety scrambled eggs recipe using cream cheese for a luxurious texture, perfect for a comforting breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or half-and-half (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
  2. Crack 4 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of whole milk or half-and-half if using. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add softened cream cheese to the eggs. Whisk gently at first, then more thoroughly to break down the cheese into small, creamy bits. Tiny lumps may remain and will melt during cooking.
  4. Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt completely without browning.
  5. Pour the egg and cream cheese mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then start gently stirring with a rubber or silicone spatula using slow, sweeping motions, folding the eggs from the edges toward the center.
  6. Continue folding the eggs every 10-15 seconds until soft curds form but remain moist and glossy, about 4-6 minutes total. Avoid rushing or scrambling vigorously.
  7. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Fold gently to incorporate.
  8. Remove the pan from heat while the eggs still look a bit wet; residual heat will finish cooking them without over-drying.
  9. Plate the eggs and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives or parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use low heat and gentle folding to achieve creamy, custardy eggs. Remove from heat while slightly underdone to avoid dryness. Softened cream cheese blends better. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with plant-based spread like cashew cream. Reheat leftovers gently to maintain texture.
