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
- Prepare Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until frothy to incorporate air for fluffier scrambled eggs. Dice the smoked salmon into small pieces and ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy folding into the eggs.
- Heat Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it begins to foam, signaling it’s ready for the eggs without burning.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon to cook evenly. Keep the eggs moving to prevent overcooking and achieve a slightly runny, creamy texture.
- Add Cream Cheese and Salmon: Fold in the softened cream cheese and diced smoked salmon into the eggs, distributing them evenly throughout for bursts of flavor and creaminess.
- Season and Finish: Sprinkle the chopped fresh chives, salt, and pepper to taste, and continue cooking just until the mixture is heated through but still moist. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to achieve fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Softening the cream cheese beforehand helps it blend smoothly into the eggs without clumping.
- Stir gently and continuously to prevent the eggs from becoming dry.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
