Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 slices Whole grain bread or bagels (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Chop the chives finely and set aside. Tear the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt gently, ensuring it doesn't brown.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon, forming soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring in intervals, ensuring the eggs remain slightly runny and creamy.
Just before the eggs are fully cooked to your liking, fold in the smoked salmon pieces and cook for an additional 10-20 seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives. Optionally, serve with toasted whole grain bread or bagels on the side.
