Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 ounces Wild smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Creme fraiche
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Toast or bagels (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely but do not let it brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan continuously to create soft curds. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat when the eggs are just set but still creamy.
Gently warm the smoked salmon (if desired) by placing it on top of the warm scrambled eggs in the skillet for 30 seconds.
To assemble, spoon the scrambled eggs onto plates or toast/bagels if desired.
Top each portion with slices of wild smoked salmon and a generous dollop of the prepared lemon cream sauce.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
