Reviews
the addition of the cream cheese was amazing!! however, i didn’t like the chives and i just didn’t add the scallions because i didn’t have any. overall amazing cream cheese scrambled eggs!
I cut the recipe to two eggs. I didn’t have scallions so I used onions and delish!! I also had some leftover sautéed mushrooms so I heated those up and oh my goodness..the perfect quick breakfast!!
I’ve never made eggs this way using cream cheese. Didn’t even know you could. I came across this recipe actually by accident looking for something else and after reading it I thought, well, let’s give it a try. What a success this way. My husband who is pretty critical of my morning eggs even liked it very much. I followed the recipe cutting it in half for two people but added a few leftover ham cubes as well. It was delicious and I will certainly make it again and again…would be good for company as well.
My husband made these for me ten years ago, and I just came across the recipe again just now. I want to say “WOW”! They were delicious then and have been over and over again. A spectacular recipe that needs no tweaking from me.
I googled cream cheese and eggs cause that’s all I had to make breakfast, and ended up making these with some scallions I had in my garden. I liked it. Tasty and simple.
Add a touch of sherry! That added to this recipe near the end of cooking is what I enjoyed at a hotel restaurant one morning in Manhattan while on a business trip. Wonderful twist on scrambled eggs!
I have always made scrambled eggs like this as I learned the “creamed cheese secret” from my mother!! I also add the sauteed chopped onions or chopped green onions. Sometimes I add chopped bacon or ham, and sauteed mushrooms also are delicious! This recipe makes the best scrambled eggs in the world!!
Everyone enjoyed these light and delicious eggs. It is a nice way to prepare a usually boring breakfast.
Great simple recipe to spice up scrambled eggs. If you like scallion cream cheese on a bagel, you’ll love these too!
Eggs were light and fluffy. Scallions were a nice touch.
