Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 oz smoked salmon, diced
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup milk (or cream)
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Whole grain toast or bagels, for serving
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or cream), softened cream cheese, and dill. Add salt and pepper to taste. The cream cheese will add a creamy texture when cooked, so it’s okay if it doesn’t fully combine at this point.
2. Cook the Scramble
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil or butter is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
- When the eggs are about halfway cooked (still slightly runny), add the diced smoked salmon.
3. Finish Cooking
- Continue to gently scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy. Remove from the heat and let sit for a minute, as the residual heat will finish cooking them.
4. Serve
- Plate the scramble and generously garnish with chopped chives. Serve with warm whole grain toast or bagels for a complete breakfast.
Enjoy!
