herbed cream cheese scrambled eggs
Perfect breakfast for a relaxed morning. It's quick to make but not something that you'll want to hurry through, it's just too good for that. You might want to swap around the herbs to use whats fresh in the garden, new in the fridge, or for a change in flavor.

How To Make herbed cream cheese scrambled eggs
-
Step 1Place the cream cheese in a 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.
-
Step 2Melt the butter in a small 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.
-
Step 3Remove from heat, add 2 dollops of the cream cheese 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, if using, on the side.
