Combine Canadian Cheddar cheese and cream in large nonstick saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

Stir a small amount of cheese mixture into beaten eggs. Return cheese and egg mixture to pan.

Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until smoothly thickened, about 5 minutes.
