Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Danish pastries (assorted)
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 pieces Radish
- 0.25 piece Cucumber
- 2 sprigs Dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 glasses Orange juice
- 2 cups Coffee or tea
Instructions
Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your Danish pastries' packaging and warm the pastries for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and heated through. If using fresh pastries, simply set them aside.
While the pastries are heating, prepare the scrambled eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until soft and creamy. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
Spread a tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of rye bread. Thinly slice the radish and cucumber, then layer them on top of the cream cheese.
Garnish the rye bread with a sprig of dill and lay the smoked salmon neatly on the side.
Once the pastries are ready, plate them with the scrambled eggs, rye bread, and smoked salmon. Optionally, add fresh dill to garnish the plate.
Serve with freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee or tea to complete your Danish breakfast for two. Enjoy this cozy and satisfying meal!
