Irresistible Scrambled Eggs Surprise

• Fresh eggs: go for organic if you can for that rich creaminess and real taste
• Butter: gives everything a silky feel and deep flavor best to use real butter
• Milk or cream: these make your eggs extra smooth and full hit up the good stuff for best results
• Smoked salmon: brings a unique flavor but doesn't overpower if you pick a mildly smoked one
• Fresh chives or your favorite herbs: they brighten things up and add color stick with lively herbs, no sad wilted bits
• Salt and pepper: toss these in at the end so the eggs stay fluffy, not soggy

Simple Step-by-Step

Mix in the salmon:

Once your eggs are almost cooked but still soft, fold in the salmon slices gently just enough to warm them—keep them delicate

Give it a taste and plate it:

Take the pan off the heat, season with salt and pepper, and scoop your eggs onto warm plates. Sprinkle on fresh chives to finish

Stir gently:

Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir slow and steady, moving the set eggs from the edge to the middle so you get big creamy curds

Egg mixture time:

Crack your eggs into a bowl, pour in milk or cream, and whisk until pale yellow and a bit bubbly

Let the eggs settle:

Pour your beaten eggs into the pan, pause for a sec so the bottom sets up a little

Melt the butter:

Drop butter into a non-stick pan and let it melt gently on low to medium heat till it gets a little foamy—this keeps the eggs from burning later

Storage Hacks

Honestly, it's best straight out of the pan but if you've got leftovers, cover them up and they'll hang out in the fridge for a day. Warm gently on low heat in a pan so they don’t dry out

Ingredient Switch-Ups

If you're skipping dairy, oat or soy milk work great here. Not into salmon? Lightly fry some paper-thin ham and mix that in. Dill or parsley make fantastic herb swaps too

How to Serve

Recipe FAQs

→ How do you keep scrambled eggs nice and creamy?

Take it slow and use low heat, moving the eggs gently so they stay soft and dreamy.

Add salmon strips right at the end, just before you serve, so they warm but don't cook too much.

Milk gives you fluffy eggs, but cream takes them over the top with extra silkiness. Either one adds yum.

Crunchy sourdough, crispy bagels, or even some toasted rolls are a perfect match with salmon eggs.

A sprinkle of fresh chives does the trick for both color and that little hint of onion flavor.
