Ingredients

• 2 pieces croissants
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 ounces smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries or sliced melon)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm the croissants and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well incorporated.

Step 3

In a nonstick skillet, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and melt it over medium-low heat.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for 20-30 seconds without stirring.

Step 5

Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs, sweeping from the edges of the pan toward the center to create soft curds.

Step 6

Continue stirring softly until the eggs are creamy and just set. Remove the skillet from the heat to avoid overcooking.

Step 7

While the eggs are cooking, place the croissants in the preheated oven for 3-5 minutes, or until warm and slightly crisp on the outside.

Step 8

To assemble, slice the croissants in half and place them on serving plates.

Step 9

Top each croissant with half of the scrambled eggs, 2 ounces of smoked salmon, and a dollop of crème fraîche.

Step 10

Sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives over the top for garnish.

Step 11

Serve alongside a small bowl of fresh fruit for a balanced and elegant breakfast.
