Description
A quick and savory smoked salmon egg scramble with soft, creamy eggs, smoky salmon, and fresh herbs that feels luxurious yet effortless for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream for richer texture)
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped
2 tablespoons cream cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Chives or green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.
- Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs toward the center, and continue cooking until softly scrambled and slightly runny.
- Add the chopped smoked salmon and cream cheese (if using) and gently stir.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until warmed through.
- Stir in the fresh dill, adjust seasoning, and remove from heat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chives or green onions if desired.
Notes
Remove eggs from heat while slightly soft to prevent overcooking.
Cream cheese adds extra richness but can be omitted.
Cold-smoked salmon works best for texture and flavor.
Best enjoyed fresh.
