Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
- Fresh chives or dill, chopped (for garnish)
- Toasted bread or bagels, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Allow it to foam but not brown, ensuring a gentle cooking temperature for the eggs.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for a few moments until the edges start to set. Then, gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue this process until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat when they are still slightly creamy, as they will continue to cook off the heat.
- Add the Salmon: Gently fold in the smoked salmon, allowing it to warm slightly with the residual heat of the eggs.
- Serve: Spoon the scrambled eggs and salmon onto plates or toast. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or dill for a burst of flavor.
