The rich, smoky flavor of the salmon pairs perfectly with the creamy texture of the scrambled eggs, and the fresh chives add a burst of color and a subtle onion note.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the smoked salmon into small pieces.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the chives and set them aside.
- Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl with the eggs.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Use a whisk or fork to gently beat the eggs and cream together until well combined.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Use a spatula to continuously stir the eggs as they cook. Keep the heat low to ensure the eggs cook slowly and become creamy.
- Just as the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, add the chopped smoked salmon to the skillet.
- Continue to gently scramble until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy. Be careful not to overcook them.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Gently fold in the chopped chives.
- Spoon the scrambled eggs onto plates.
- Garnish with additional chopped chives if desired.
- Serve immediately while the scrambled eggs are still warm and creamy.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
- Keep the heat on medium-low when cooking the scrambled eggs to avoid overcooking them.
- Continuously stir the eggs slowly to ensure they stay creamy and don't form large curds.
- Add the smoked salmon just before the eggs are fully cooked to retain its delicate texture.
- Garnish with extra chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
