CREAM CHEESE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH GREEN ONIONS, AVOCADO AND BACON


CREAM CHEESE SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH GREEN ONIONS, AVOCADO AND BACON
I often make Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs.  But, normally I make them just with eggs and cream cheese bits. It is my top favorite way to make scrambled eggs and everyone loves it that way, too, with the bits of molten cream cheese hidden in the dips and valleys of the scrambled eggs. This time I fried up some green onions and topped with bacon bits and avocado and more green onions.  Delicious breakfast and my cream cheese scrambled eggs taken to a new level of interest and taste!

1/2 cup chopped green onions (125 mL)
2 tbsp butter (30 mL)
8 large eggs
1/4 cup water (60 mL)
Salt and pepper, to taste
4 oz cream cheese, cut into bits (125 g)
Optional toppings:
Bacon bits
Chopped avocado
Chopped green onions

In nonstick pan in butter, stir-fry green onions.

In medium bowl, beat eggs with water using a large fork and add salt and pepper to taste.  Pour mixture over green onions and sprinkle eggs with cream cheese bits.  Cook over medium low heat and gently stir eggs.  I like to lift them up in sections and turn gently as they cook.  Don’t overcook – should be moist and glossy.  Serve immediately with one of the optional toppings such as bacon, avocado and green onions.
