I had milk poached eggs for breakfast today - it was delicious. Eggs and dairy mix so nicely together. ---

Eggs benedict does make a great dinner, as asparagus is a natural with hollandaise sauce, add a tossed salad, hot sourdough bread fresh out of the oven and something chocolate for dessert. Or maybe pears poached in red wine. ---

I love me some cream cheese. > [@sparky\_1](#): > > I’ve been wanting to try that. IME, you don’t really _taste_ the cream cheese in the eggs; it’s more a textural difference. For two eggs, I use about an ounce of cream cheese, cubed into small pieces. Here’s _my_ method: In a frying pan, over _no higher than medium_ heat, I melt a tsp or so of butter (this, again, is for two eggs; one serving); while the butter is melting, I whisk up the eggs in a bowl and add a little splash of milk or Half and Half or something, as well as salt and fresh-ground pepper (if you’re not using fresh-ground pepper, try it; you’ll be amazed at the difference!). Once the butter is melted, I pour the eggs slowly into the pan; at this point, I, personally, tend to add an herb blend that I like. The important thing is to keep the eggs moving constantly; also, _don’t_ crank the heat! It will seem to take a long time, but between keeping the heat relatively low, and using the cream cheese, you will end up with the fluffiest, creamiest scrambled eggs you’ve ever had! But they will _not_ be runny or watery! Often, just before the end of the cooking process, I add a handful of shredded cheese to the top. ---

When making scrambled eggs, I melt the butter and grind the pepper directly into the butter, letting it cook a little before adding the eggs. ---
