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:

3 oz smoked salmon
81g
3/4 tsp lemon juice
3.81g
4 eggs
220g
1/4 tsp dried thyme
0.35g
2 tbsp light sour cream
30g
1 stalk onion
12g
1/4 tsp lemon peel
1/2g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
2. Mixing Ingredients:
- 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.
3. Cooking the Scramble:
- 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.
4. Finishing Touch:
- 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.
5. Serving:
- 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.
6. Enjoy:
- 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.
