I made this a couple of times and found it vile as a sweet dish, but nice as a savoury dish. What cream cheese do you use ? Maybe Philadelphia is too salty here ?

I did try it with Mascarpone and it wasn't too bad, but a bit bland. But Mascarpone has a high (natural) sugar content, so I wasn't too keen.

My Savoury version:

Half of a 250g packet of Philadelphia
2-3 eggs (depends on their size)
1 slice of Ham
1 cherry tomatoe
3 slices of cucumber
Pepper, Paprika and ground coriander

Cut the veggies and the ham as small as you have patience for and mix with the eggs and softened cream cheese. Cook as before (will have to try low setting, sometimes mine is cooked on the outside, but still gooey inside) and enjoy.

A nice variation is to replace the Philadelphia with Boursin (french soft cheese, very crumbly and has herbs mixed in).
