Scrambled Eggs with a Secret Ingredient

Scrambled eggs are easy, safe and just plain comforting. We decided to do a Mother's Day brunch and one of the dishes on the menu were these eggs. I had watched a DVD and the authour was describing how to make a gourmet egg salad sandwich. He used the recipe below as his filling. His bread was a croissant so perhaps it was the croissant that made the difference and not the scrambled eggs. Regardless, these are worth making for a special brunch.
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup 10% cream
2 doz eggs
8 oz of cream cheese cut into cubes
1/4 cup snipped chives fresh from the garden
salt and better to taste
Melt the butter, add the cream and eggs. Stir and just as the mixture is starting to form into lumps, stir in the cubes of cream cheese. When the eggs are congealed and the cream cheese melted, stir in the chives and serve. This dish does not like sitting around waiting to be served.
The secret ingredient is the cream cheese and you will taste it immediately. Nice.
