Herb Creamed Cheese Scrambled Eggs

Herb Creamed Cheese Scrambled Eggs

Another one from 101cookbooks.com, this is a tasty twist on a classic breakfast.

• 8 oz / 225 g cream cheese, room temperature
• 4 tablespoons chopped herbs - equal parts thyme, tarragon, oregano
• 6 green onions, with greens, chopped
• 1/3 cup (big handful) chopped chives
• fine grain sea salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 eggs, well whisked
• plenty of toast, for serving

Place the cream cheese in a medium bowl, add the herbs and mash with a fork until the herbs are evenly distributed. Add the green onions, most of the chives, a generous pinch of salt, and mash until those are incorporated as well. Set aside.


Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-heat. Add the eggs and let them set a bit. Use a spatula to fold them over themselves, let them set a bit again, and repeat until they are nearly cooked to your liking. Remove from heat, add 2 dollops of the cream cheese (roughly a tablespoon each) to the skillet, count to ten, then stir a bit more to work the cream cheese into the eggs. Serve sprinkled with the remaining chives, salt and pepper to taste, and toast on the side.


Serves 2, feel free to scale up with more eggs if you have more people to feed.
