How to Make Scrambled Eggs With Lox And Cream Cheese

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper until light and frothy.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. The butter should be melted and shimmering.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.
  4. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a wooden spoon or spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Gently fold in 2 ounces of cream cheese and 2 ounces of smoked salmon (lox). Stir until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist, about 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook.
  6. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate or serving dish.
  7. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped chives (optional) and serve immediately.
