scrambled eggs served with sourdough toast and bacon — This delicious cream cheese scrambled eggs recipe is so easy to make and delicious it will have your family asking for seconds.

Eggs are a staple in my family’s weekly grocery haul. We buy them by the flat. We eat eggs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (not on the same day though, that would be eggs overkill!) But we do eat them several times a week.

They can be used as the main ingredient in a meal (like eggs anyway you like them with toast and bacon), or as an add-in to elevate your meal. Have you ever added a poached egg to your pasta dish? It instantly takes it from bland to fancy, while adding a healthy dose of good protein.
