    How to make scrambled eggs with cream cheese

    It's really easy to make scrambled eggs with cream cheese. You only need a few basic ingredients and equipment.

    What to serve with this scrambled eggs with cream cheese recipe

    For a very simple breakfast, I eat a plate of this scrambled egg as is. To make it a little fancier, I love to serve these eggs with smoked salmon.

    You can also add Cream Cheese Eggs on toast or a bagel. Or even wrap it in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito.

    But lately, my standard go-to is a simple sprinkle of flavored sea salt.

    Surprisingly, I can't get the umami rich wild mushroom sea salt out of my head. It pairs so well on these scrambled eggs, but truth be told, I love it on everything at the moment.

    Chipotle sea salt also gives these eggs a beautiful kick. Plus, the large flakes add a bit of crunchy burst of spicy saltiness.

    Cream Cheese Eggs - Keto Recipe | The Worktop

    This egg breakfast recipe is keto, low carb, and diabetic friendly

    Because eggs are keto and low carb, they make an ideal breakfast food. A large egg contains:

    • less than 1 gram of carb and
    • just under 7 grams of high-quality protein.

    Eggs also contain iron, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids.

    You can also eat cream cheese on a keto and low-carb diet. The exact carb count can vary based on the brand of cream cheese you use, so check the packaging to get exact information.

    For example, ingredients in Whole Foods 365 Cream Cheese:

    pasteurized milk and cream, cheese cultures, salt, guar gum, carob bean gum, xanthan gum

    From my experience, stay away from the cream cheese in plastic tubs. Those often are "cream cheese spreads," which contain various other ingredients.

    Nutritional breakdown if you follow keto or low carb diet:

    Ingredients

    • 4 large eggs
    • 3 tablespoons cream cheese
    • 1 tablespoon milk
    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Gently whisk the eggs together. Whisk in the cream cheese and milk until mixed. It's ok if there are small bits of cream cheese pieces still.  
    • Heat the butter in a small non-stick skillet on medium heat. When the butter has melted, add in the chives. Cook for about 20 seconds, but do not let the butter burn (otherwise your eggs will turn color).
    • Slowly, pour in the eggs and allow it to sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds. Gently using a spatula, lift and fold the eggs and give them a gentle stir. Let sit again for about 30 seconds and give it a gentle stir again. Repeat until the eggs are just cooked.

      Easy to make since I have all ingredients on hand, even fresh chives in my little garden. Lovely flavour but not as creamy as I’d hoped. I shall add more cream next time (not milk as it’s too high in sugar). Thank you for the recipe!
