Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 4 ounces smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 stalks scallions (green onions)
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and whisk until thoroughly combined with a light and airy consistency.

Step 2

Chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Set both aside.

Step 3

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.

Step 4

Add the whites of the scallions to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges before using a spatula to gently push the cooked edges toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gently fold in the smoked salmon and capers. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the salmon is warmed through and the eggs are set but still moist and creamy.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle in the lemon zest, fresh dill, and the green parts of the scallions for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Plate the scramble immediately and serve with toast, bagels, or a fresh side salad.
