How to make this salmon and egg breakfast

The full recipe is below. As such, you can jump into it if you want.

However, I will share some useful tips here. This way you can make the best salmon scrambled eggs right away.

Don’t skip half and half

One of the best parts of this recipe is the creamy, fluffy eggs. For the creamiest eggs, I use half and half.

If you want a rich tasting egg, don’t skip half and half.

Half and half adds fat to eggs. Fat is important if you don’t want rubbery eggs.

In a pinch, you tin make it with whole milk. Although if you do, you’ll lose some of the wow factor. The eggs just won’t melt like they do if you use half and half.

Beat the eggs very well

When you beat the eggs, make sure you do it very well. A blender works best. However, I use a fork and get away with mine too. It just takes a little longer.

There are two reasons why you want to beat the eggs really well.

First, so you don’t end up with striped eggs where the whites and yolks aren’t well combined. Continue beating the eggs until there are no streaks or lumps.

Even when you think you’re done, give it an extra 30 seconds. No streaks when you beat raw eggs means you’ll get perfectly colored scrambled eggs.

Second, beating the eggs (especially with a mixer) adds air to them. Small air pockets help the scrambled egg stay fluffy.

Add the salmon at the end

It will help if you can let the leftover salmon you use come to room temperature a bit before making this recipe. Adding the cold salmon will change the temperature of the eggs being cooked on the stove.

Also, to avoid overcooking the salmon, add it towards the end. As a guide, add the leftover salmon when the eggs are still moist but starting to curdle.

Doing so gives the salmon enough time to heat through. Also, the eggs are still moist enough to stick to the salmon and fold the fish into the scramble.

Finish off this salmon and eggs breakfast with everything but the bagel seasoning

To finish this breakfast with eggs and salmon, don’t forget to finish with Everything But Bagel Seasoning.

To give it a touch of color, I also add fresh chives. If you don’t have any available, I’m a big fan of freeze-dried herbs.

this bottle of freeze-dried chives it’s very handy to have on hand.

What type of salmon to use?

You can use any cooked salmon fillet in this recipe. I make this breakfast on the days I have leftover salmon from the night before.

A simple baked salmon fillet works best. Fried salmon also works well.

In any case, be sure to use cooked salmon. If you don’t have any salmon left, you can cook a fillet before making this recipe. It should not be cooked in any special way.

Also, note that this recipe does not use smoked salmon. Smoked salmon will not work in this recipe. First, it would be too salty. Second, it would cook when you put it in the pan, changing the texture and making it too dry.
