Follow these 4 steps for smoked salmon with scrambled eggs

Step 1
Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the milk. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the mixture until it is well combined. Season with a little pepper but avoid adding too much salt as the fish is already salty.
Step 2
Cook the eggs: Melt the butter in a non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for a few seconds before stirring gently with a spatula. Keep moving the eggs until they are soft and slightly runny.
Step 3
Add the salmon: Cut the fish into small strips or bite sized pieces. Stir the fish into the pan when the eggs are almost finished cooking. The heat from the eggs will warm the fish without overcooking it.
Step 4
Serve the dish: Remove the pan from the heat immediately to prevent the eggs from becoming dry. Sprinkle some chopped chives over the Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs. Serve the meal on warm plates while it is still fresh and hot.

Tips to make smoked salmon with scrambled eggs even better

For the best Smoked Salmon with Scrambled Eggs, try to use high quality eggs and fresh salmon. If you prefer a richer taste, you can replace the milk with a little bit of double cream. Cook the eggs on a low to medium heat to keep them creamy and prevent them from burning. Always add the fish at the very end so it stays tender and does not get a tough texture.

Fresh herbs like dill or parsley also work very well as a substitute for chives. If you like a bit of crunch, serve everything on a piece of toasted sourdough or a toasted bagel. This dish is best enjoyed immediately after cooking while the textures are at their peak.

You might also enjoy gravy, tuna tart or charcuterie.
