It&#8217;s the perfect combination and when the smoked salmon is cooked it becomes even softer, taking on a slightly different flavour and texture.

The not-so-secret tricks here are cream instead of milk, butter instead of oil and the fresh chives add an extra pop of flavour. It&#8217;s nothing more complicated than that. I&#8217;ve specified measurements to make this for one person, but it&#8217;s easy enough to multiply the quantity to feed as many as you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Scrambled eggs with salmon &amp; fresh chives\" class=\"wp-image-1292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?resize=1440%2C960&amp;ssl=1 1440w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/3.-Scrambled-Eggs-with-Salmon-1.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">I would happily eat these eggs on their own or with a bit of fruit alongside, but this dish only gets better with the addition of some good toast. I prefer sourdough or a rustic country loaf sliced and toasted, smathered with plenty of salted butter. I&#8217;d simply lay out my slices of toast and serve the eggs directly piled on top. So good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">2 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">1 tablespoon double cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Salt &amp; pepper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">25g butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Zest &amp; juice of 1 lemon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">50g smoked salmon slices, roughly chopped <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">A few sprigs of fresh chives, chopped<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">A few sprigs of fresh dill, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Crack the eggs into a bowl about the size of a cereal bowl and add the double cream. Season lightly with salt &amp; pepper and whisk until well mixed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Put a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add the butter. When the butter has melted, add the lemon zest and let it sizzle for a few seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Pour in the beaten eggs and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir frequently until the eggs are mostly cooked. Just before they start to look done when there&#8217;s still a bit of a liquid look to them, toss in the salmon pieces and half the lemon juice. Continue to cook while stirring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">When the eggs are fully cooked and the salmon has lost all or most of its raw look and turned a paler pink it&#8217;s done. Remove to a plate, adjust seasoning if needed and sprinkle with the remaining lemon juice and the chopped chives and dill. Serve warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/ashleylaurenturner.com\/?cat=211\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Click here to see more breakfast recipes!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m not the biggest fan of scrambled eggs, but when they are paired with smoked salmon I struggle to resist.
