Different and tasty recipe for scrambled eggs! Loved the parmesan and the creamy cream cheese. I went light on the lemon pepper and really enjoyed these - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Loved this! I cut the recipe in half for just the two of us and it worked prefect. I used fresh finely grated Parmesan cheese and cooked bacon diced. I do have to admit that both DH and I added salt. We just felt it needed it but we were also both surprised how well we enjoyed the lemon pepper. The flavors all blended well together. This is a keeper. Thanks for posting. :)

I made this for 3 using 6 eggs and cooked up some bacon rashers till crisp and then crumbled as I am not a big fan of bacon bits (always taste too salty for my liking) and also used a low fat cream cheese and cut back on the amount of butter and we all enjoyed served with wholemeal/wholegrain buttered toast.
