These Boursin scrambled eggs, silky smooth with a subtle savory flavor, are what I like to make for breakfast or brunch when we have overnight friends or family visiting. We enjoy them served with sautéed mushrooms and sliced tomatoes on the side.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons half-and-half
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic and fine herbs spreadable cheese , such as Boursin®
- ground black pepper
- chopped fresh parsley or chives , for garnish
Instructions
-
1
Whisk eggs, half-and-half, and a pinch of salt together in a small bowl.
-
2
Melt butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium-low heat. When butter starts to bubble, pour in egg mixture. Using a silicone spatula, gently swirl the eggs around in circles from the outside in, without stopping, until you start to see small curds, about 20 to 30 seconds.
-
3
Switch from making circles to making long sweeps across the pan until you see larger curds, about 20 seconds. When eggs are about 75% cooked, gently fold in crumbled cheese. The eggs now should be softly set and still a little runny in places.

4
Remove the skillet from the heat, and set aside for about 20 to 35 seconds to allow the residual heat to finish cooking to your preferred consistency.

5
Garnish with parsley or chives, and serve immediately.

Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread
I am going to show you how to make naan Chef John-style—when I want it fast and I don't want to use yeast and wait for a dough to rise but I also want it just as good as if I did. While I originally tried this method to save time, it produces what might be my favorite style of naan. It really is incredible whether you use garlic and green onions, or not. As naan are made, they must be stacked and wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and supple.
