Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon Recipe

5.1 from 28 reviews

A creamy and luxurious scrambled eggs recipe combined with delicate smoked salmon strips, perfect for a sophisticated breakfast or brunch. The eggs are cooked softly with butter and milk, then gently folded with smoked salmon and garnished with fresh chives for an elegant touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream for extra richness
  • 2 tbsp butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 100 g smoked salmon, sliced into strips
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add milk or cream, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Heat the butter: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter evenly without allowing it to brown.
  3. Start cooking the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit untouched for a few seconds until the edges begin to set slightly.
  4. Scramble gently: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs to form soft curds, continuing to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still a bit runny and creamy.
  5. Add smoked salmon: Fold the smoked salmon strips into the eggs, cooking for another minute to warm the salmon and finish setting the eggs without overcooking.
  6. Season: Season the scrambled eggs with salt and freshly ground pepper according to your taste.
  7. Serve and garnish: Immediately plate the scrambled eggs and garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and mild onion flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs and high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cooking eggs over low heat allows for soft, creamy curds instead of dry, rubbery eggs.
  • For an even richer scramble, substitute milk with heavy cream or crème fraîche.
  • Chives add a mild onion flavor, but you can substitute with dill or parsley as preferred.
  • Avoid overcooking the eggs once the salmon is added to maintain a silky texture.
