Instructions

Gather eggs, optional yolks, heavy cream, cream cheese, butter, chives, salt, and pepper, making sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. Have a bowl and whisk ready.
Combine eggs, yolks, heavy cream, and cream cheese in the bowl, stir lightly, and let sit 15–20 minutes to soften.
Whisk again until mostly smooth; small flecks of cream cheese are fine since they’ll melt while cooking.
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the egg mixture, and gently stir until soft, creamy curds form and the eggs are just set.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs before cooking to help them cook evenly. Cold eggs can lead to uneven texture and rubbery spots.
Stir gently and not too often while the eggs cook. This keeps the curds soft instead of breaking them down too much.
A small amount of butter or cream added early helps protect the eggs from high heat. This keeps the egg recipe rich without needing extra cheese.
Remove the eggs from the heat while they still look slightly soft. They will finish cooking on the plate and stay creamy instead of dry.
