smoked salmon and scrambled eggs

snacks and sides | serves 2
There's nothing better than a nice bit of smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. The best thing is if someone else makes it for you, so drop some hints!

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over a moderate heat until it’s foaming. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add to the saucepan. Stir the eggs continuously with something flexible like a spatula to get right into the corners, and cook until little pieces of cooked egg are surrounded by soft, smooth and still quite runny egg. The egg will continue to cook even when the heat is turned off, so undercook them slightly and leave them in the pan while you butter your toast. Season the eggs to taste and pour over the toast. Drape the salmon over the eggs and serve it with the lemon wedges. Add plenty of black pepper and serve immediately.

8. Asud Khaliq Sun 12 Oct 2008 @ 17:51 My son Mobine made smoked salmon and scrambled eggs exactly as described as above - with a little help from me. #we doubled up the ingredients and cooked for the whole family. It was delicious. Cooking the eggs so that there is still some runny egg around the cooked eggs makes this dish taste even tastier. Asud

12. Debbie Wed 07 May 2008 @ 13:57 I love this one too and add a bit of goat cheese during the egg cooking process - also add the salmon so it's warmed with the eggs - yummy!

Thanks

16. Daniela Fri 15 Feb 2008 @ 21:10 Wow! This is the best breakfast ever! I am Brazilian and I think that in my country the food is amazing, but we overcook eggs! this is for sure!

17. Shane Murphy Sat 09 Feb 2008 @ 02:06 My hint is that the best scrambled eggs are done in the microwave. If you know how to use a microwave and can do this dish so its slightly runny, not firm, your partner, family friends will think your a magician! Sue you are spot on. I agree toss the smoked salmon in for about 40 seconds and the addition of dill as Tammy says sets the dish off superbly. Also consider freshly chopped parsley to garnish instead of dill for a more subtle English influenced flavour.

18. Maria Helena Sun 18 Nov 2007 @ 00:51 Beautiful. I love you, Jamie.

19. Sue Woollard Sun 11 Nov 2007 @ 16:40 Hi Jamie,

I've tried this before but throw in the smoked salmon with the scrambled egg whilst cooking.

Either way, it's a delicious simple breakfast.

Bon Appetite!
