Ingredients
  • 3 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Cream cheese
  • 2 oz Smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp Butter or coconut oil
  • To taste Salt
  • To taste Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill (optional)

Prepare the Eggs

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Ensure the eggs are well combined for a smooth and even texture.

Cook the Scrambled Eggs

Melt butter or coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Then, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

Add Cream Cheese and Salmon

Add the cream cheese to the skillet and gently stir it into the eggs until melted and evenly distributed. Break the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add it to the skillet. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to overcook the eggs.

Serve and Garnish

Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired, for a burst of fresh flavor and visual appeal.

FAQ

  • Can I use a different type of fish?

    Yes, you can substitute smoked salmon with other types of smoked fish like trout or whitefish. Just ensure it's a good quality and complements the creamy eggs.
  • What if I don't have cream cheese?

    You can use mascarpone cheese or sour cream as a substitute, although the flavor profile will be slightly different. Mascarpone will add extra creaminess, while sour cream will add a tangier note.
  • Can I add vegetables to this dish?

    Absolutely! Adding chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the skillet before adding the eggs will increase the nutritional value and add texture to the dish. Sauté the vegetables until tender before adding the egg mixture.
