Ingredients
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 clove Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Butter
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk the eggs together with salt and pepper. Set aside. Prepare the garlic and chop your desired herbs.

Cooking the Scramble

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Adding the Eggs and Cream Cheese

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. As the eggs begin to set, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center. Add the cubed cream cheese. As the eggs finish cooking the cream cheese will melt and create creamy pockets.

Herb Infusion & Serving

Once the eggs are cooked but still slightly moist, stir in the chopped fresh herbs. Remove from heat and serve immediately. A sprinkle of extra herbs can enhance the presentation.

FAQ

  • Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

    While fresh herbs provide the best flavor, you can use dried herbs in a pinch. Use about 1/3 of the amount specified for fresh herbs.
  • Is it possible to add more vegetables to this recipe?

    Yes, sautéing vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers before adding the eggs can create a more substantial meal.
  • How do I adjust the consistency of the eggs?

    For creamier eggs, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the egg mixture before cooking. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming dry.
