Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 spears asparagus
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 ounces feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Using a whisk or fork, beat the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
2. Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and slice them into 1-inch pieces.
3. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
4. Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the asparagus.
5. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, then gently stir and fold the eggs using a spatula. Continue this process, cooking the eggs over low heat to ensure they remain soft and creamy.
6. Tear the smoked salmon into small pieces and add them to the skillet, stirring gently to combine.
7. Once the scrambled eggs are almost set (slightly runny but no longer liquid), crumble the feta cheese over the top and fold it in.
8. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set to your liking and the feta is warmed through.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped dill before serving. Serve immediately with toasted bread or your favorite breakfast side.
