Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Smoked kippers
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups Water (for poaching kippers)
Instructions
Fill a large saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the smoked kipper fillets to the simmering water, ensuring they are submerged, and poach for 4–5 minutes until heated through. Remove the kippers with a slotted spoon and set aside. Cover to keep warm.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs as they cook to create soft, fluffy curds. This should take about 3–4 minutes.
Once the scrambled eggs are cooked but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
Plate the warm kipper fillets on individual serving plates and spoon the scrambled eggs alongside or on top.
Garnish with chopped chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
