Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) Fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with heavy cream until fully combined and slightly frothy. Add the salt and black pepper, and whisk again briefly.

Step 2

Cut the cream cheese into small cubes, about 1/2-inch in size. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, coating the pan evenly, but do not let it brown.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds, until the edges just begin to set.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue to do this, working around the skillet, letting the uncooked portions flow to the edges.

Step 6

When the eggs are about 50% cooked but still runny, sprinkle the cream cheese cubes evenly over the top. Gently stir to incorporate, allowing the cream cheese to soften slightly but not melt completely.

Step 7

Add the chopped chives and parsley to the eggs, folding them in gently to distribute the herbs without breaking up the curds too much.

Step 8

Cook the eggs for another 1-2 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. Avoid overcooking to keep the eggs soft and creamy.

Step 9

Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat immediately and transfer to plates. Serve hot and enjoy!
