Ingredients

  • 100 g Smoked salmon
  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp Milk or cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp Fresh chives chopped 1 tbsp
  • 4 Traditional Scottish oatcakes storebought or homemade

Instructions

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk or cream, and whisk until well combined.
  • Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until soft and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Warm the oatcakes slightly in a dry pan or oven.
  • Spoon the scrambled eggs onto the oatcakes and top with slices of smoked salmon.
  • Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Oatcake Options: Traditional Scottish oatcakes are dense and slightly crumbly, perfect for this dish. If unavailable, whole grain crackers or rye crispbread can be a substitute.
  • Egg Texture: For the creamiest scrambled eggs, cook them over low heat and stir frequently to prevent overcooking.
  • Variations: Add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of crème fraîche for extra brightness, or swap chives for fresh dill for a more aromatic touch.
