Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on wholegrain toast
Creamy scrambled eggs on crisp wholegrain toast, topped with cold-smoked salmon and chives — 31 g protein per serving and on the table in 12 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4eggs (medium)
- 3 ½ ozcold-smoked salmon
- 3 ½ ozwholegrain bread(2 thin slices per serving)
- 2 tbspmilk 1.5%
- 10 gbutter
- 5 gchives(finely sliced)
- 1 tsplemon juice
Instructions
- 1
Whisk 4 eggs (medium) with 2 tbsp milk 1.5% and a pinch of pepper in a bowl. Hold off on salt until the end — the 3 ½ oz cold-smoked salmon brings plenty of seasoning.
- 2
Toast the 3 ½ oz wholegrain bread in a toaster or dry pan until golden.
- 3
Melt the 10 g butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat until foaming — but not browned.
- 4
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Slowly push it from the edge to the centre with a silicone spatula for about 2 minutes, until creamy and just set.
- 5
Pull the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly glossy — residual heat finishes the cooking, any longer and they go dry.
- 6
Divide the toast across two plates, pile the scrambled eggs on top and drape strips of 3 ½ oz cold-smoked salmon over them.
- 7
Finish with 5 g chives, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Frequently asked
Why do scrambled eggs sometimes turn out dry?
Heat and timing. Too high a temperature sets the eggs too fast and turns them rubbery. Use medium heat, stir gently and constantly, and pull them off the stove early — residual heat finishes the job.
What fish works as a substitute?
Smoked trout and mackerel fillet work just as well, as does cured (gravlax) salmon. Protein content stays comparable; mackerel is a bit fattier and keeps you full longer.
Does this keep for meal prep?
Scrambled eggs only hold up so-so — fresh is noticeably better. If you have to, store the components separately and reheat the egg gently in a pan rather than the microwave (otherwise it turns tough).
