how to make Smoked Salmon and Scrambled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 eggs
- ¼ teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 3-4 ounces smoked salmon (separated into thin slices)
- Minced parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions:
- Dice the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Crack 4 eggs into a bowl and add ¼ teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning. Whisk until the eggs are light and frothy.
- In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour the eggs into the center of the pan.
- Using a silicone spatula, drag the spatula across the pan like a clock face: from 12:00 to 6:00, then from 1:00 to 7:00, 2:00 to 8:00, and so on, scraping the bottom of the pan with each drag.
- The eggs will cook slowly, and large, soft curds will begin to form as you drag them across the pan.
- When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add 3-4 ounces of smoked salmon and gently stir and fold the eggs over the fish for another 15-20 seconds until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly wet. They will continue to cook after you remove them from the heat.
- Divide the smoked salmon scrambled eggs among plates. Serve with a sprinkle of minced parsley and additional Everything Bagel Seasoning for garnish and crunch.
