Boursin Scrambled Eggs are a luxurious and flavorful take on classic scrambled eggs. The creamy Boursin cheese (a garlic and herb cheese) is incorporated into the eggs as they cook, making them rich, smooth, and bursting with flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to elevate your scrambled eggs:
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Boursin cheese (garlic & herb flavor)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley, for garnish)
- A splash of milk or cream (optional, for creamier eggs)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk. Add a splash of milk or cream if you want creamier eggs, but it's not necessary. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Cook the eggs:
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foamy. You want the butter to melt gently without browning.
3. Add the eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few moments before gently stirring with a spatula, allowing the eggs to begin setting around the edges.
4. Incorporate the Boursin cheese:
- As the eggs start to form soft curds, add small spoonfuls of the Boursin cheese to the eggs. Stir gently to incorporate the cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy texture throughout the eggs.
5. Cook gently:
- Continue cooking the eggs on low heat, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent overcooking. Scrambled eggs should be soft, creamy, and slightly runny when done. If they start to firm up too much, remove the pan from the heat and let the residual heat finish cooking the eggs.
6. Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove them from the pan. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for added color and flavor.
Tips:
- Low and slow: The key to perfect scrambled eggs is cooking them over low heat and stirring gently. This ensures they stay soft and creamy.
- Extra flavor: If you love a more garlicky taste, add a small clove of minced garlic to the butter before adding the eggs.
- Serving suggestions: These Boursin scrambled eggs are perfect with toasted sourdough, smoked salmon, or fresh avocado on the side for a complete breakfast or brunch.
