Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 100 grams smoked salmon
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes
• 50 grams baby spinach
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 whole lemon

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the cherry tomatoes in half and setting them aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove.

Step 3

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat them lightly with a fork until yolks and whites are just combined.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add cherry tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side.

Step 8

Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side of the skillet and let them cook for a few seconds until the edges start to set.

Step 9

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, slowly combining them with the vegetables. Continue stirring softly until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist and creamy.

Step 10

Remove from heat, fold in the smoked salmon slices and chopped dill.

Step 11

Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the scrambled eggs and give them a final gentle stir.

Step 12

Serve warm, garnished with extra dill if desired.
