Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- Salt and pepper to taste
Other Ingredients
- 100g high-quality smoked salmon, diced
- 50g cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prep: Gather all ingredients. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until frothy to incorporate air for fluffy scrambled eggs. Dice smoked salmon and leave cream cheese out to soften.
- Heat: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and melt it until it becomes foamy, ensuring the pan is adequately coated.
- Cook: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently and continuously to scramble the eggs, cooking until they are just slightly runny for a soft texture.
- Combine: Gently fold in the softened cream cheese and diced smoked salmon into the eggs, mixing until evenly incorporated and warmed through.
- Finish: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh chives over the eggs and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook briefly until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness but remain creamy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor and texture contrast.
- Softened cream cheese adds creaminess, but you can substitute with mascarpone or ricotta if desired.
- Cook eggs over medium heat to avoid overcooking and preserve their creamy texture.
- Fresh chives add a subtle onion flavor that complements the smoked salmon perfectly.
- Serve with toasted bread or bagels for a complete breakfast.
