Cream Cheese and Chive Scramble with Prosciutto Recipe
- 10 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
- 1/4 cup whole milk or water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into small cubes
- 8 slices prosciutto (they should be thin, but not so thin you can see through them)
- Combine the eggs, pepper, 3 tablespoons of the chives, and milk or water in a large mixing bowl and whisk until the eggs are broken up and well blended.
- Melt the butter in a large nonstick frying pan over low heat until foaming.
- Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed until the eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center.
- Let sit again for about 30 seconds, then repeat pushing the eggs from the edges into the center every 30 seconds until just set, for a total cooking time of about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the salt, distribute the cream cheese over the eggs, and stir to incorporate.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs have reached your desired doneness.
- Remove from the heat.
- (The eggs will continue to cook in the pan.)
- For each serving, place 2 slices of the prosciutto on a plate, just overlapping each other lengthwise.
- Place a quarter of the eggs crosswise toward one end of the prosciutto pieces.
- Wrap the loose end of the proscuitto over top of the eggs (so that it resembles a burrito) and top with a sprinkling of the remaining tablespoon of chives.
- Serve immediately.
