Not much to tell… fold cream cheeses into eggs while scrambling.  I also add chives

I usually make egg white omelets with spinach and feta - one day I was out of feta and substituted it with cream cheese - been making it like that since.

Cool got ya and didn't realize you make omelets out of the scramble eggs and get why Bier said fold the cream cheese.

[Bier Meister 1,715]

I use either 1/2 and 1/2 or cream in my omelettes. Whisk it with the eggs before adding to the pan.

I have been told I prepare it well. It has a "taste" to be sure, but when properly and subtly seasoned and paired with the right sides, it can be pretty good

To be fair I haven’t had liver since the 70’s and at that time I didn’t like skirt steak either - now I grill skirt steak all the time. I guess the stigma of what “liver” really is is subconsciously in my mind. Trust me no one wants to eat my liver no matter how you spice it. LOL.

i'll sometimes use coffee creamer at home.

 

for chicken- if i am doing three stage breading, i usually keep it neutral for more versatility. if doing something italian, yeah... parm or pecorino in the bread crumbs/panko

Everyone has their own thing.  I don’t like adding liquid to eggs.  I prefer to do my scrambled eggs over lower heat stirring continuously.  You get a very creamy scrambled egg that way, but fully cooked.  Yum.

I put a splash of water in my scrambled eggs to steam them up a bit while cooking. I have millions of satisfied customers/family when I make them.

This is how I make my scrambled eggs as well. 

Might add some fresh tomatoes or mushrooms for more of a scramble, but I don't add liquid and I rarely add cheese.

I've started using MSG in several dishes these days.  Adds a nice Umami flavor.  I would recommend.

BS.  Do your own research.  It's considered safe these days.
