Smoked salmon has such a rich and salty flavour that a little bit goes a long way in this sophisticated take on scrambled eggs.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsps fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp crème fraîche
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tbsps butter
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 110g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- basil pesto, to serve (optional)
- balsamic reduction, to serve (optional)
- fresh rocket, for garnish
Method
Step 1
Whisk 2 tablespoons chives, crème fraîche and eggs in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a large heavy pan over medium-low heat. Add the egg mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook, occasionally scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula to form large, soft curds, until just barely set, 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Place 2 slices of toast on each plate. Put avocado into a bowl, mash with a fork, and season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread mashed avocado over each slice of toast.
Step 3
Spoon eggs over avocado. Drape salmon slices over eggs and add basil pesto. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon chives, rocket and balsamic reduction and serve.
