Description

Soft Scrambled Eggs with Cream Cheese are luxuriously creamy, gently cooked eggs with a silky texture and mild tang from cream cheese. This quick and comforting dish is perfect for breakfast or brunch and comes together in minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients
    For the Soft Scrambled Eggs
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature preferred)
  • 60 g cream cheese (softened, plain)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp milk or light cream (optional, for extra softness)
  • 0.25 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
    • Optional Toppings
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives or spring onions
  • Toasted bread or flatbread, for serving
Instructions
    Prepare the Egg Mixture
  1. 1
    Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk gently until the yolks and whites are just combined. Avoid over-whisking; you want a smooth mixture without too much air. Add salt, pepper, and milk (if using), and stir lightly.
    2. Heat the Pan
  2. 2
    Place a non-stick pan over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt slowly without browning. Low heat is essential for achieving soft, creamy eggs.
    3. Start Cooking the Eggs
  3. 3
    Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit for about 10–15 seconds, then gently stir using a silicone spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
    4. Add the Cream Cheese
  4. 4
    When the eggs begin to thicken but are still slightly runny, add small chunks of cream cheese. Continue stirring slowly and consistently so the cheese melts evenly into the eggs.
    5. Finish Gently
  5. 5
    Keep stirring over low heat until the eggs are softly set and glossy. They should look slightly undercooked in the pan, as they will continue cooking from residual heat.
    6. Rest and Serve
  6. 6
    Remove the pan from heat and let the eggs rest for 1 minute. Give a final gentle stir, then serve immediately on warm toast or flatbread.
Note
  • Always cook scrambled eggs on low heat to prevent dryness.
  • Remove eggs from heat slightly early—they firm up quickly.
  • For extra richness, replace milk with light cream.
  • Best eaten immediately; scrambled eggs do not store well.
  • You can add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for variation.
