Chef's Note

The key to perfect scrambled eggs is low, slow heat and removing them from the pan while they're still slightly wet - they'll continue cooking from residual heat. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.

Ingredients
  • 3 whole large eggs

  • 2 oz smoked salmon

  • 1 tbsp fresh dill

  • 1 tbsp chives

  • 1 tbsp cream cheese

  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp whole milk

  • 1 tsp capers

  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/8 tsp sea salt

  • 1 slice whole grain toast

  • 1/4 cup microgreens

Instructions
  • 1

    Finely chop 1 tbsp fresh dill and 1 tbsp chives. Set aside a small amount for garnish.

  • 2

    Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk with 1 tbsp whole milk, 1/8 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until well combined but not overly frothy.

  • 3

    Tear or chop 2 oz smoked salmon into small pieces, reserving a few pieces for garnish.

  • 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tsp unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely.

  • 5

    Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until the edges begin to set.

  • 6

    Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.

  • 7

    When the eggs are about 75% set but still slightly wet, add most of the chopped dill, chives, 1 tsp capers, and the smoked salmon pieces.

  • 8

    Drop 1 tbsp cream cheese in small dollops throughout the eggs and fold gently to incorporate.

  • 9

    Remove from heat when eggs are just set but still glossy and slightly creamy (they will continue cooking from residual heat).

  • 10

    Toast 1 slice of whole grain bread while preparing the eggs.

  • 11

    Sprinkle the eggs with 1/2 tsp lemon zest and the reserved herbs.

  • 12

    Serve immediately with the toast and garnish with reserved salmon pieces and 1/4 cup microgreens.
