Ingredients

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons chopped herbs (equal parts thyme, tarragon, and oregano)
  • 6 green onions (with greens), chopped
  • 1/3 cup chopped chives (reserve some for garnish)
  • Fine grain sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs, well whisked
  • Sourdough toast, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the cream cheese until soft. Add the chopped herbs, green onions, most of the chives, and a generous pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them set slightly.
  3. Gently fold the eggs with a spatula, cooking slowly until soft curds form.
  4. When eggs are nearly done and still glossy, remove from heat. Add two dollops (about 1 tablespoon each) of the herb cream cheese.
  5. Wait 10 seconds, then gently stir to melt and incorporate the cream cheese into the eggs.
  6. Garnish with remaining chives, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately with sourdough toast.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for best flavor, but dried herbs can be used in smaller amounts.
  • Make the herb cream cheese ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Cook eggs slowly to keep them soft and creamy; remove from heat before they fully set.
  • Try the ‘smear method’ by spreading cream cheese on the plate under the eggs for a melty presentation.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition and flavor.
