Ingredients
Instructions
- 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.)
- 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.
