Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 100g smoked salmon
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Chives for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 eggs, 100g of smoked salmon, 1 tablespoon of cream cheese, salt, pepper, and chives for garnish.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the eggs with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the skillet to warm up for a minute before adding the eggs.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center. This will create soft curds.
- As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, add the 1 tablespoon of cream cheese to the eggs. Continue to gently stir until the cream cheese is melted and evenly incorporated.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency (they should be soft and slightly creamy), remove the skillet from the heat.
- Carefully fold in the 100g of smoked salmon, breaking it into smaller pieces as you mix it into the scrambled eggs. The residual heat will warm the salmon without overcooking it.
- Plate the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, and garnish with freshly chopped chives for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your Dukan-friendly scrambled eggs with smoked salmon!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh eggs and high-quality smoked salmon. The freshness of your ingredients can make a significant difference in taste.
- Control the Heat: Cooking the eggs over medium-low heat is key to achieving that soft, creamy texture. Avoid high heat to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery.
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly before cooking. This helps to incorporate air and results in fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Add Cream Cheese at the Right Time: Incorporate the cream cheese when the eggs are still slightly runny. This allows it to melt perfectly and blend seamlessly into the eggs.
- Garnish for Presentation: Don’t skip the chives! A sprinkle of freshly chopped chives not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the dish's flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh off the stove. Serve them right away to savor their creamy goodness at its peak.
