⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Sheryl, One Happy Dish reader

I've been wanting to publish this easy but oh-so-tasty cream cheese eggs recipe ever since I made these smoked salmon scrambled eggs (which also use cream cheese; so good!) This basic recipe is just perfect though on a day when you want a quick egg breakfast but with a little something special added.

My biggest tips for this recipe? Keep the heat medium low, and don't walk away from your skillet while your eggs are cooking! It should only take a few minutes until they are just cooked through, and they'll be super fluffy and moist when you serve them immediately.

🌿 Ingredients

Feel free to leave out the fresh chives or use dried chives instead; it's just a garnish.

Method

 

1. Crack 2 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add 2 teaspoons water and whisk well. Add 1 tablespoon cream cheese, using the whisk to break up the cheese into smaller (but still visible) pieces.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium low heat and add ½ tablespoon butter. Once the butter starts to sizzle, pour in the eggs and use the back of a stainless steel or silicone spatula to turn over the egg mixture several times just until the eggs are cooked through.
3. Serve immediately, add a pinch sea salt and a pinch freshly ground black pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh chives if desired.
