Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk together until smooth.
Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized strips and finely chop the chives. Set these aside.
In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over low heat, making sure it doesn't brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for 10–20 seconds without stirring to let the edges set slightly.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, moving them around the skillet in slow, folding motions to form large, soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked and still slightly runny, fold in the chopped smoked salmon.
Continue stirring gently until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, ensuring they remain creamy and moist.
Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
Plate the scrambled eggs and garnish with diced chives before serving.
