Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large farm-fresh eggs preferably free-range
  • 100 g smoked salmon thinly sliced, high quality
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter for cooking
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • to taste black pepper freshly cracked

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Silicone spatula
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. Gather your ingredients: eggs, smoked salmon, butter, dill, lemon, and black pepper. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Let it melt gently until it starts to shimmer with a faint crackling sound, filling the kitchen with a warm, nutty aroma.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Keep stirring softly and slowly, maintaining a gentle heat.
  4. As the eggs start to firm up but are still slightly runny, tear the smoked salmon into small pieces and gently fold them into the eggs. Continue stirring gently, allowing the smoky salmon to warm through and infuse the eggs with flavor.
  5. Cook for another minute until the eggs are softly set, creamy, and slightly glossy, with the salmon heated through. Remove the skillet from heat just before they become too firm, to keep that silky texture.
  6. Finely chop the dill and fold it into the eggs. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture and sprinkle generously with cracked black pepper. Give everything a gentle stir to distribute the flavors evenly.
  7. Transfer the eggs to a serving plate. Garnish with extra dill and lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately with toasted bread or bagels for a luxurious breakfast.

Notes

Use the highest quality smoked salmon you can find for the best flavor. Cook the eggs on low heat to keep them creamy and avoid overcooking. Add lemon juice just before serving to brighten and enhance the smoky richness.
