Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 slices of bread
- Butter for spreading
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, salt, pepper, 2 slices of bread, and butter for spreading.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of cream cheese to the bowl with the eggs. Using a fork or whisk, mix the cream cheese into the eggs until well incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the skillet to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add a small amount of butter to the skillet, about 1 teaspoon, and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg and cream cheese mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will continue to cook the eggs, so be careful not to overcook them.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the 2 slices of bread to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or toast them in a separate skillet with a little butter for added flavor.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
- To assemble the sandwich, place half of the creamy scrambled eggs on one slice of the buttered side of the bread. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side down, to create a sandwich.
- Repeat the assembly with the remaining eggs and bread to create a second sandwich.
- Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your creamy scrambled egg sandwich!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use medium-low heat to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery or overcooked.
- Cream Cheese Magic: The secret to ultra-creamy eggs is incorporating cream cheese - it adds luxurious texture and rich flavor.
- Don't Overmix: When scrambling eggs, gentle stirring creates softer, more delicate curds.
- Butter is Better: Use real butter for toasting bread for enhanced flavor and golden-brown crispiness.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your toast and eggs to finish simultaneously.
- Seasoning Hack: Season your eggs just before cooking to prevent breaking down egg proteins.
- Optional Upgrades: Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or a sprinkle of sharp cheddar for extra flavor complexity.
