Ingredients for Philly Scrambled Eggs

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, pinch of black pepper

How to Make Philly Scrambled Eggs

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook slowly, stirring gently and frequently, until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly wet.
  4. Reduce heat to the lowest setting. Add 2 ounces of softened cream cheese, stirring continuously until melted and fully incorporated into the eggs.
  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh chives or your favorite herbs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
