Gourmet Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Yield: 2

This recipe may be as simple as preparing scrambled eggs as you usually would, adding 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp of diced,smoked salmon per egg, plus salt and pepper, to taste. However, we recommend you give yourself an extra ten minutes, and prepare the eggs according to the instructions below.

Ingredients

Remember: Starting with room temperature ingredients makes for the most consistent recipes.

1. In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, 1 tablespoon of the chopped butter, salt and pepper. Add capers, onions and herbs, if using. Keep total amount of additions at 1 tsp to 1 Tbsp per egg.
2. Using a double boiler, (with barely boiling water in the lower pot), melt 1 Tbsp butter in top pot. Add egg mixture, stirring with plastic spatula until chopped butter has melted. As eggs thicken, continue to gently fold eggs over from the bottom of the pot to the top, about 5 minutes.
3. Add smoked salmon as eggs thicken, and cook another 5 minutes or so. Don’t forget, the eggs will continue to cook even after removed from the pot. Perfect for a light dinner or brunch. Serve immediately, on warm plates.
4. Serve with a dry Rosé.
