How to Make Lox And Cream Cheese Scrambled Eggs

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until light and frothy.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
  5. Gently push the cooked eggs towards the edges of the pan, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until mostly set but still slightly wet.
  6. Sprinkle 1 ounce (28g) of shredded Jarlsberg cheese (or your preferred cheese) and 1 ounce (28g) of cream cheese over the eggs.
  7. Add 2 ounces (57g) of smoked salmon (lox), breaking it into smaller pieces if necessary.
  8. Gently fold the cheese and lox into the eggs until they are fully incorporated and the eggs are just set. Do not overcook.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
