Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 optional lemon wedges
- 2 optional sourdough or baguette slices
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the milk, and whisk until well combined and frothy.
Finely chop the fresh chives and dill, reserving a small amount for garnish.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over low to medium heat until it starts to foam but does not brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for about 20 seconds without stirring.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges toward the center, forming soft curds.
Continue cooking the eggs over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just set but still creamy. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
Stir in the chopped herbs (except the reserved garnish), salt, and black pepper to taste.
Divide the scrambled eggs between two plates, then top each portion with 2 ounces of smoked salmon slices.
Garnish with the reserved herbs and serve immediately, with optional lemon wedges for drizzling or toasted sourdough slices on the side.
