Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 8 eggs, beaten
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper
  • 1½ - 2 ounces cream cheese, diced and cold
  • 5 slices smoked salmon
  • Fresh chives, snipped

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and scramble them, adding a pinch of salt and a few grinds of the pepper mill. (Tip: I go light on the salt at first, as the smoked salmon adds salty flavor, and you can always add more later.)
  2. When eggs are just about cooked to your liking, gently stir in the cream cheese, followed by the smoked salmon. Remove from the heat, garnish with snipped chives, and enjoy.
