Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Scrambled Eggs:

• 2 oz Boursin cheese (Garlic & Fine Herbs flavor recommended)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Optional Toppings & Add-Ins:

• Fresh chives, chopped
• Sautéed mushrooms

• Diced tomatoes
• Toasted sourdough or croissant on the side

Tools You’ll Need

• Medium mixing bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Nonstick skillet
• Silicone spatula
• Measuring spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs

1. Crack all eggs into a medium mixing bowl.
2. Add the milk or cream, salt, and black pepper.
3. Whisk vigorously until the eggs are completely blended and slightly frothy – this will help achieve fluffier eggs.

Step 2: Melt the Butter

1. Place a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat.
2. Add the butter and let it melt slowly, coating the bottom of the pan.
3. Swirl the pan gently to distribute the butter evenly.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs Low & Slow

1. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
2. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
3. Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, forming soft folds.
4. Continue this motion every few seconds, cooking slowly for about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Boursin Cheese

1. When the eggs are about 75% cooked but still glossy and soft, crumble in the Boursin cheese.
2. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs, allowing it to melt and blend in without over-stirring.
3. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

1. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to avoid overcooking.
2. Spoon the scrambled eggs onto warm plates or toast.
3. Top with fresh chives, cracked pepper, or any of the optional toppings.
4. Serve hot and enjoy the velvety richness in every bite.

Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs
Use Low Heat – Slow cooking is key to soft, custardy eggs.
Don’t Overcook – Remove from heat while still slightly runny; they’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
Whisk Well – The more air you incorporate, the fluffier your eggs will be.
Fold, Don’t Stir – Gentle folding gives the best texture and helps prevent breaking the curds.
Warm Plate Matters – Serving on a warm plate keeps your eggs creamy longer.

Serving Suggestions
With Toast – Pair with buttered sourdough, brioche, or a warm croissant.
Brunch Platter – Add roasted potatoes, salad greens, or fruit on the side.
Protein Add-ons – Serve alongside grilled chicken sausage or smoked salmon for extra protein.
Vegetarian Version – Top with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, or roasted red peppers.
Wrap It Up – Use these eggs as a filling for a breakfast burrito or soft tortilla wrap.

How to Store & Reheat
Storing:

• Refrigerate: Place leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container. Use within 1–2 days.
• Avoid Freezing: Eggs with cheese tend to separate when frozen and reheated.

Reheating:

• Stovetop: Warm gently in a nonstick pan over low heat with a splash of milk.
• Microwave: Heat in 20-second intervals at low power, stirring in between.
