Ingredients
- Half loaf fresh bread (rustic Italian or sourdough)
- 8 ounces smoked salmon (Norwegian or wild-caught)
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 6 large eggs
- Pinch of sea salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Slice bread into 4 thick slices (about 1 inch each). Toast lightly for 2-3 minutes until just golden but still soft in the center.
- Crack 6 eggs into a medium bowl. Add sea salt and black pepper. Whisk gently until just combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Pour in egg mixture and let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds.
- Gently push eggs from edges toward center in large, slow folds. Cook for 3-4 minutes until soft, large curds form. Remove from heat while still creamy.
- Spread remaining 2 tablespoons softened butter evenly across each toasted bread slice. Top each with a generous portion of scrambled eggs.
- Arrange about 2 ounces of smoked salmon on top of eggs on each slice. Sprinkle with fresh chives and extra black pepper. Serve immediately.

- Cook eggs on medium-LOW heat for creamiest texture
- Remove eggs from heat while slightly wet
- Add cream cheese for extra creaminess
- Best served immediately while warm
