Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 slices crusty bread or toast
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper together until fully combined.
Roughly chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside a small portion for garnishing.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely, but avoid browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until it just starts to set around the edges.
Using a heatproof spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking while stirring occasionally, allowing the eggs to form soft curds.
When the eggs are nearly cooked but still slightly runny, add the smoked salmon pieces and half of the chopped chives. Gently fold them into the eggs to combine and cook for an additional 20-30 seconds or until the eggs are just set.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking, as the eggs will continue to cook from residual heat.
Serve the scrambled eggs over warm slices of crusty bread or toast. Garnish with the reserved chives for a fresh pop of flavor.
Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture!
