Heat skillet and add butter so eggs don't stick.
Beat or whisk the eggs in a small bowl with cream and salt and pepper.
Cook in skillet, stirring occasionally, until almost set up. Remove from heat and serve.
Recipe Notes
If you stir scrambled eggs too much as they are cooking, they will end up crumbly and not be as creamy.
If you don't mind the extra fat and calories, double the cream for extra creamy eggs!
This is another recipe that my husband came up with. Creamy eggs filled with cooked bacon, onion, sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers, and topped with cheese. I usually cook up double the meat and veggies, then reserve half of it for a later time to make a quick weekday breakfast.
While that is cooking, finely dice onion, sweet pepper and jalapeno pepper.
When bacon is cooked, add the diced veggies and cook, without draining bacon grease.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with heavy cream and season with salt and pepper.
When veggies are nearly cooked, add spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until spinach is wilted.
Pour eggs over the top of the veggies and stir. Cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are nearly set up. Remove from heat. We like to eat these topped with shredded cheese and sometimes salsa.

This is a good way to use up your leftover taco meat. This is the recipe I use. Make sure that if you want gluten-free or soy-free to check the labels carefully before buying any taco seasoning in the store.
Heat small skillet and add 1/2 T. butter. While that is heating, beat 2 eggs with heavy cream and salt & pepper. When pan is heated, add egg mixture. When omelette edges start to set up, lift edge with spatula while tipping pan so raw egg goes underneath. Continue going around the pan, lifting and tipping, until eggs are cooked through. Sprinkle some shredded cheese and taco meat on one side of cooked eggs. Fold edge without toppings over and carefully slide out of skillet onto serving dish. Garnish as desired.
This is a recipe my husband came up with several years ago and we still enjoy it at least weekly. A combination of bacon, potatoes, onions, sweet peppers, jalapenos (if you desire), and ham (opt.), topped with shredded cheese. Yum! Of course, any of these ingredients can be changed or deleted to your liking.
Cut up bacon by slicing across the slices into 1/4" or so pieces. Cook in skillet until just done.
Add remaining ingredients except cheese. Cook, stirring every 5-10 minutes, until done. You may need to add a little butter or oil to the pan, depending on the skillet you are using and the fat content in the bacon. Serve topped with cheese of your choice! Cilantro or green onion makes a nice garnish for this dish. You may also want to add salsa to the top.
Recipe Notes
We always buy jalapenos and sweet peppers by the bushel or half bushel at the farmer's market in the fall, then we dice them and freeze them in quart Ziploc bags, so they are always ready to go whenever we need them!
The potatoes are julienned using a nifty device called Nice Dicer. We have an old style one, that we have been using for years. It works great and saves a LOT of time!
To save some time on a weekday morning, cook up the bacon the night before and save in a covered container with the other veggies, all chopped and ready to throw in the pan the next morning!
A very easy biscuit recipe baked in Lodge cast iron biscuit pan. The flour mixture can be made up ahead of time, cut the butter in, then refrigerate or freeze until needed. Then just add the buttermilk, drop biscuits into pan with an ice cream scoop and bake.
These are great with sausage gravy: https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/sausage-gravy/
This recipe works great in a mini muffin maker. This size works better for us since it is usually just the 2 of us, so we don’t really need 7 enormous biscuits between us. It also worked out great for Christmas morning when the oven temperature for the biscuits was 100 degrees warmer than the oven temperature for our egg casseroles. We really like how the edges come out kind of crunchy.
In a bowl, stir dry ingredients together.
Cut in butter to coarse crumb stage.
This can be covered and stored in the refrigerator or freezer at this point.
Add buttermilk. Stir just until blended.
Drop dough into Lodge biscuit pan, using 3 oz. scoop.
Bake 15-18 minutes in 450 degree F oven. Serve warm.
This works great in a mini muffin maker. Use 164 g. of mix and 100 g. (7 T.) buttermilk.
Use 1 oz. scoop and cook for 6-7 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Although spelt is actually a type of wheat flour, most people with wheat allergies can digest spelt with no problem. Obviously, you should not eat spelt if it is a problem for you.
Butter a 9x13" baking dish.

This can be served with salsa and sour cream or green or red chilie.
