Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 120 grams smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces bread slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside. Reserve a few for garnish, if desired.
Cut the smoked salmon into small strips or bite-sized pieces. Set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt slowly without browning.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and begin stirring gently with a spatula. Stir continuously, scraping the bottom of the skillet to create soft curds.
Cook the eggs slowly over low heat, ensuring they remain creamy and don't overcook. This process should take about 3-4 minutes until they are just set but still moist.
Once the eggs are nearly done, fold in the smoked salmon pieces gently, allowing them to warm through while keeping their texture intact.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in most of the chopped chives, reserving a small portion for garnish.
If serving with bread, toast the slices and place them on plates.
Divide the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon mixture onto plates, garnish with the reserved chives, and serve immediately.
