Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 ounces Wild smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup Creme fraiche
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Toast or bagels (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the eggs are fully blended and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely but do not let it brown.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom and sides of the pan continuously to create soft curds. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat when the eggs are just set but still creamy.

Step 5

Gently warm the smoked salmon (if desired) by placing it on top of the warm scrambled eggs in the skillet for 30 seconds.

Step 6

To assemble, spoon the scrambled eggs onto plates or toast/bagels if desired.

Step 7

Top each portion with slices of wild smoked salmon and a generous dollop of the prepared lemon cream sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
