  3. Coat a small nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  5. Cook, stirring often, until the eggs are scrambled and just set, about 3 minutes.

💡 Tips

  • For extra fluffiness, whisk the eggs thoroughly before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have reduced-fat cream cheese, regular cream cheese works fine.
  • Don't overcook; remove from heat while still slightly soft for creamy eggs.
