Yield: Serves 4Difficulty: Easy as pie (or in this case, eggs)Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients (7)

• 10 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (not nonfat)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
• 2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces
• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh herbs, such as dill, chives, parsley, chervil, or a combination

Instructions

1. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Set this mixture aside for now.
2. Heat the butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until it's all melted and foamy.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 1 to 2 minutes.
4. When the edges are set, use a rubber spatula to push the eggs from the edges into the center. Scatter the cream cheese pieces over the eggs and gently stir to combine.
5. Let it sit once more until the edges start to set, then spread the eggs back into an even layer. Continue this process, pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds, until the eggs are almost set and the cheese is melted and combined, for a total cooking time of about 4 to 5 minutes.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle in the herbs. Gently stir to combine and serve immediately.
