How to Make Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese

Scrambled eggs with cream cheese is one of those egg recipes you’ll make again and again. This recipe is simple to make and adds so much creamy texture to classic scrambled eggs. Use a nonstick pan for best results.

Step 1: whisk eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt and pepper until the eggs are well blended and frothy. You can use a whisk or electric mixer for this. 

Step 2: cook the eggs

In a large nonstick skillet melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture and reduce to medium-low heat. 

Use a rubber spatula to or silicone spatula to gently push the eggs until it begins to set and forms soft curds. 

Step 3: add in the cream cheese

When the eggs are partially cooked, sprinkle on the chunks of cream cheese. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally. 

You will know the eggs are done when the eggs have thickened and start to set. 

Remove from heat and taste for seasonings. Serve topped with fresh chives or diced green onion.

• Wrapping the eggs in a warm tortilla with avocado, Monterey jack cheese, and hot sauce makes for a quick breakfast burrito. 
• Smoked salmon balances the creamy eggs with its rich, savory taste, while crispy bacon or prosciutto adds a hearty element. 
• Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or roasted cherry tomatoes bring in more flavor and nutrients.

Recipe Tips

• Use Softened Cream Cheese: To ensure the cream cheese melts smoothly into the eggs, soften it before adding it to the pan. Cut it into small cubes or spoonfuls for even distribution.
• Cook on Low Heat: Scramble the eggs over low heat to prevent them from becoming dry or rubbery. This allows the cream cheese to melt gently and creates a soft, custard-like texture.
• Stir Gently: Stir the eggs slowly and gently with a spatula, allowing them to cook evenly and maintain their creamy texture. Avoid over-stirring, as this can cause the eggs to break up too much.
• Finish with Butter: For an even richer flavor, add a small knob of butter to the eggs just before removing them from the heat. This extra step enhances the creaminess and creates a silky finish.
