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.

This beef short ribs recipe was passed down to me from my mom and grandmother. The short ribs are braised for hours in a flavorful beer and beef broth and turn out delicious and tender every time.

Egg Breakfast Pizza
This recipe will make two pizzas. I came up with it by accident by throwing a bunch of ingredients together. We make it on the weekends at the lake for breakfast/brunch. You can modify toppings. I usually make one sausage and one bacon. Each pizza will serve 3 to 4 people.
