What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ounces cream cheese cubed
- 1 everything bagel toasted and torn into pieces
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Toast the Bagel
Toast the bagel until golden and crispy. Tear or chop into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Scramble
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs with 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning and pour into the pan. Gently fold eggs slowly for about 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to set but are still slightly glossy.
Step 3: Finish and Serve
Add cream cheese cubes to the eggs and fold gently a few more times so the cream cheese melts into streaks throughout. Remove from heat and fold in the toasted bagel pieces. Top with remaining everything seasoning and fresh chives and serve immediately.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- everything bagel → English muffin or toast pieces with extra seasoning
- cream cheese → labneh or goat cheese for a tangier version
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Adding cream cheese too early when the pan is too hot which causes it to break and become greasy instead of creamy
- Overcooking the scramble until dry before adding cream cheese which leaves no room for the cheese to meld into the eggs
