A quick and easy breakfast recipe featuring soft scrambled eggs folded with creamy goat cheese and fresh herbs for a rich, indulgent, yet light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 ounces soft goat cheese (e.g., Montrachet)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives, parsley, thyme), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder or shallots for a subtle savory kick

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, crack 4 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of whole milk or cream. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  2. Finely chop about 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (chives, parsley, thyme). Crumble 2 ounces of soft goat cheese into small pieces.
  3. Place an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Let it melt slowly until foamy but not browned. Lower heat if it starts sizzling aggressively.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until it just begins to set at the edges.
  5. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow folds. Keep the heat low to avoid overcooking. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until soft curds form.
  6. When the eggs are mostly set but still a little runny, sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and chopped herbs evenly over them. Fold them in gently so the cheese melts into creamy pockets.
  7. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Give one last gentle fold and remove the pan from heat while the eggs look slightly softer than desired, as they will continue cooking off the heat.
  8. Transfer the scrambled eggs onto warm plates and garnish with extra herb sprigs if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook eggs on low heat and stir gently to keep them creamy and soft. Add salt after most of the cooking to avoid overly salty eggs. Use fresh herbs for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute goat cheese with nut-based cheese and milk with plant-based milk.
