Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chives
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined.
Slice the smoked salmon into small bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it just starts to sizzle.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to set for a few seconds without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, moving them from the edges toward the center of the pan. Repeat this process every few seconds.
Once the eggs are roughly halfway cooked, add the smoked salmon slices to the pan and fold them gently into the eggs.
Continue to cook the eggs to your desired doneness, ensuring they remain soft and slightly runny.
Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the chopped chives over the scrambled eggs.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, optionally garnished with additional chives or a slice of lemon.
