Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 ounces sliced smoked salmon cut into small pieces heaping 1/3 cup
  • 1/3 cup goat cheese crumbles 1 3/4 oz
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • Labaneh cheese or sour cream optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Scramble the eggs with a whisk or fork in a bowl along with the milk or water for at least 60 seconds, until well mixed, light and fluffy.
  2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in the skillet, swirling it around to coat the skillet with a thin layer of butter.
  3. Add smoked salmon pieces to the skillet and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Turn heat down to medium low. Add eggs, goat cheese and fresh dill to the skillet.
  5. Keep the heat on medium/medium low, you don't want to rush it here-- if the skillet is too hot the eggs will cook too quickly and become rubbery. Once you pour the eggs in they will begin to cook immediately. Using a spatula (I use a wooden spatula so I won't damage my nonstick coating), begin pulling the cooked outer edges in towards the center of the eggs. Uncooked eggs will flood the area you just pulled back. Move the spatula around the edge of the skillet, pulling the cooked edges towards the center and re-flooding repeatedly. Cooked scrambled eggs will gather in the center of the skillet.
  6. At a certain point, the uncooked eggs will no longer flood and the scramble will all collect in the center of the skillet, but it will still be slightly runny in texture. Begin breaking up the scramble; quickly turn undercooked areas and keep the scramble moving to make sure that all surfaces cook evenly. Never leave a surface in contact too long with the skillet or it will become overcooked.Turn off the heat when the eggs are 90% cooked. When the eggs are done, serve immediately. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste-- the smoked salmon is salty already, so taste before you season.
  7. Serve with a little sour cream or labaneh cheese on the side (optional). Enjoy!
