Lemon-thyme smoked salmon scramble with sour cream is a delightful and easy-to-make recipe that's perfect for breakfast or brunch. The combination of smoked salmon, zesty lemon, and aromatic thyme creates a savory and flavorful dish. The addition of sour cream makes it creamy and rich, making it a sure hit for your taste buds.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by finely chopping the smoked salmon into small pieces.
- Finely chop the green onion.
- Grate the lemon peel if you haven't done so already.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack and whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the lemon juice, dried thyme, and half of the finely grated lemon peel to the eggs. Whisk again until everything is well incorporated.
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add the chopped green onions to the skillet. Sauté them for about 1-2 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the green onions. Allow it to sit for a few moments before gently stirring with a spatula.
- As the eggs begin to set, break them up gently with the spatula. Add the smoked salmon pieces to the pan.
- Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and the salmon is heated through. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should be creamy and soft.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your preferred level of doneness, remove the pan from the heat.
- Gently fold in the light sour cream, mixing just until combined. This will add a lovely creamy texture to your scramble.
- Transfer the lemon-thyme smoked salmon scramble to a serving dish.
- Garnish with the remaining grated lemon peel for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- Serve the scramble immediately while it’s hot. It pairs wonderfully with toasted bread or a fresh side salad. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Lemon-Thyme Smoked Salmon Scramble with Sour Cream!
Tips:
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature to achieve the best scramble consistency.
- Use fresh lemon juice for a more vibrant flavor.
- Don't overcook the salmon; it should be gently heated through to retain its tender texture.
- Feel free to substitute fresh thyme for dried thyme if you prefer a more intense herb flavor.
This lemon-thyme smoked salmon scramble with sour cream is a fantastic way to start your day. Its rich flavors, creamy texture, and fresh ingredients make it a nourishing and satisfying meal. Enjoy this dish on its own or pair it with a slice of toast for a complete and delightful breakfast experience.
