creamy scrambled eggs & ham.

so i am pretty sure that in another life i was the daughter of paula deen. i had to be, right? or maybe i'm just hoping i was so that i can explain why i worship at the house of butter. 

seriously.

if you haven't noticed, i am not exactly the health nut type. i prefer to go the full fat food route. if a recipe calls for butter, bacon, cream, or sugar, count me in! i'd be in heaven, for sure, if it called for all four. 

so now that i got that off my chest, it only makes sense as to why i had to make this recipe.

eggs + cream + butter + ham + cream cheese = perfection. 


honestly, i get it. i know what you are thinking. isn't it just a little overboard to use cream AND cream cheese for eggs but PLEASE try it. you can thank me later.

plus, it's not like you are going to eat these every day, right? 


creamy scrambled eggs & ham + printable version
--recipe found at real mom kitchen

8 eggs
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup cubed fully cooked ham -- i just used chopped up deli ham and i have no idea how much i put in...i just tossed in whatever i felt like...
1 green onion, chopped -- i didn't use these b/c i don't really like them
dash salt
dash pepper
4 teaspoons butter
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed -- make sure to cut them pretty small...it will help them melt better, unless you like your cream cheese in chunks...more power to ya.

whisk eggs and cream in a large bowl; stir in the ham, onion, salt and pepper.

heat butter over medium heat in a large skillet or pot. 

add egg mixture; cook and stir until almost set.

stir in cream cheese. cook and stir until completely set.

oh and if you have leftovers -- they are awesome reheated, that is if you can get someone to share!
