Ingredients

• 4 pieces Danish pastries (assorted)
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 2 slices Rye bread
• 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 2 pieces Radish
• 0.25 piece Cucumber
• 2 sprigs Dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
• 2 glasses Orange juice
• 2 cups Coffee or tea

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your Danish pastries' packaging and warm the pastries for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and heated through. If using fresh pastries, simply set them aside.

Step 2

While the pastries are heating, prepare the scrambled eggs. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until soft and creamy. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Step 4

Spread a tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice of rye bread. Thinly slice the radish and cucumber, then layer them on top of the cream cheese.

Step 5

Garnish the rye bread with a sprig of dill and lay the smoked salmon neatly on the side.

Step 6

Once the pastries are ready, plate them with the scrambled eggs, rye bread, and smoked salmon. Optionally, add fresh dill to garnish the plate.

Step 7

Serve with freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee or tea to complete your Danish breakfast for two. Enjoy this cozy and satisfying meal!
