Protein Salmon and Eggs on Toast

A quick, protein-packed breakfast of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon served on whole-wheat toast.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, nitrate-free chopped (about 2 slices or 8 ounces)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup dill chopped, for garnish (optional)
  • 4 slices whole-wheat or whole-grain toast
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Equipment

  • nonstick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Whisk or fork
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Toaster

Method
 

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium and lightly spray or grease it.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit briefly until the edges begin to set.
  4. Using a spatula, push an edge of the set eggs toward the center and tilt the pan so uncooked egg flows to the edges; continue gently folding and stirring to form large curds. Do not over-stir.
  5. Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat when just set but still moist.
  6. Toast the whole-wheat slices until golden.
  7. Top each slice of toast with scrambled eggs, then sprinkle chopped smoked salmon over the eggs.
  8. Season each open-faced sandwich with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped dill if using; serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use nitrate-free smoked salmon as specified.
  • Garnish with dill only if desired.
  • Do not overcook the eggs to keep them tender.
  • Adjust salt carefully because smoked salmon is salty.
