Luxury Scrambled Eggs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 large scallion, thinly sliced
    1/2 tablespoon tightly packed curly fresh parsley leaves, chopped
    1/2 tablespoon tightly packed fresh basil or 1/2 tablespoon tarragon leaf, chopped
    6 large eggs
    2 tablespoons heavy cream
    4 ounces cream cheese, cut into about 3/4-inch pieces
    salt & freshly ground black pepper, as needed
    2 tablespoons butter
    fresh chives, minced
Preparation
    Combine the chopped herbs. In a medium bowl use a fork to loosely combine the eggs and cream. Stir in cream cheese, the herbs, and a little salt and pepper. Eggs do not have to be completely uniform.
    In a 10-inch heavy non-stick skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add the eggs and stir with a spatula for a few seconds.
    Lower heat to medium low and keep stirring, scraping up any egg sticking to the pan, for 3 minutes, or until large curds form. Eggs can be served almost wet, moist yet approaching firm (my preference), or quite firm.
    Serving suggestion: Serve hot, maybe with a salad of tart greens and orange sections for contrast.
