For a delightful twist on a classic breakfast or brunch, consider elevating your scrambled eggs with creamy Boursin cheese. Scrambled eggs, a versatile dish suitable for breakfast, lunch, or even a light supper, can sometimes lack excitement when prepared plainly. While seasonings, milk, yogurt, or cream can enhance them, incorporating Boursin cheese introduces a rich, herbaceous flavor and luxurious texture, transforming simple eggs into a gourmet experience. This quick and easy recipe offers a flavorful upgrade to your usual egg preparation.
Creamy Boursin Scrambled Eggs Recipe
Inspired by a desire to utilize leftover Boursin and a couple of eggs, I discovered AllRecipe’s Boursin scrambled eggs recipe online. Intrigued, I decided to prepare it for lunch, serving it simply on toast.
The result was remarkably straightforward to make, and the Boursin cheese not only amplified the taste but also imparted an ideal creaminess to the scrambled eggs. This recipe is undoubtedly one I will repeat.
Although the original recipe suggested adding half-and-half, I omitted this ingredient, and the dish was still successful. I also chose to forgo the fresh parsley or chive garnish initially, but plan to include them next time for added freshness and visual appeal.

- Two large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- Small knob of unsalted butter
- 1-2 tablespoons Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs spreadable cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional garnish: Chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create flavorful Boursin scrambled eggs:
- Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk the eggs together until yolks and whites are combined.
- Place a skillet over low to medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is melted and starts to gently bubble, pour the whisked egg mixture into the hot pan.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for approximately 20-30 seconds, or until small curds begin to form around the edges.
- Gently push the cooked egg curds towards the center of the pan using a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process for another 20 seconds, or until larger, soft curds start to develop.
- Just before the eggs are fully set but still slightly moist, gently fold in the Boursin cheese, distributing it evenly throughout the eggs.
- Remove the skillet from the heat while the eggs appear softly set and slightly runny. The residual heat will continue to cook them to the perfect creamy consistency. Let the eggs rest in the pan for approximately 20 to 35 seconds.
- Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired, to enhance the visual appeal and add a fresh herbal note.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy and flavorful Boursin scrambled eggs.
