ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream

- salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I use kosher salt)
- 2 avocados, peeled and cut in slices
- 8 slices smoked salmon
- chives, chopped (optional)
directions
- Crack eggs into a bowl and add the cream, whisk until the eggs look foamy. (Important to whisk to incorporate air into the egg mixture.makes the scrambled eggs turn out light and fluffy.).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add butter and melt until it foams, then turn the heat down to low.
- Slowly pour in the egg mixture.
- Using a rubber spatula, slowly stir the eggs from the outside of the pan to the center. (Once eggs begin to set, stirring slowly will create large, fluffy results.).
- *This takes approximately 10 minute Don't let the eggs brown. Be patient!
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Serve with slices of avocado and smoked salmon. Garnish with chives, if desired.

What a lovely lunch this made LIG. Great recipe, chocked full of flavors that all compliment one another. Love the quickness and ease of this tasty dish. I have enjoyed this twice so far. The creamy eggs, tender avocados, delicious smoked salmon and zesty chives, made my taste buds sing. Thank you so much for sharing another winner with all of us. -
What a delightful recipe. I've always loved avocado with tuna, and now I know it's also fantastic with salmon. I cut the recipe down to 2 eggs, and enjoyed mine with some pumpernickel toast. This would also make a nifty omelet, I think. -
This was really delightful - not too heavy, but light and flavorful. I loved the addition of the avocado! I scaled the recipe in half, except I used 5 eggs instead of 4. I also added the chives to the eggs. I will definitely be making this again. Made for Think Pink 2009 Tag Game. -
Wonderful breakfast thank you LifeIsGood. I scaled this back for 2 using 3 eggs, 1 tablespoon thickened cream (double cream), 1 Avocado, 100 grams of smoked salmon and with a slice of wholemeal/wholegrain toast it was a substantial breakfast for the DM and myself, thoroughly enjoyed. -
These were delicious! I think this was the most luxurious plate of eggs I've ever eaten lol! The eggs were so nice and creamy to start with, and the avocado and salmon just add to the silky texture. I cut the recipe to two eggs, used cold smoked salmon, and I didn't have any chives, so I sprinkled some dried cilantro on top for color (no flavor, of course, because dried cilantro has none, but the color was pretty). I needed to add some green, anyway, since my poor avocados were on their last legs. I'll definitely be making this again (hopefully with more presentable avocados lol), thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5 Mexico

What a great flavor combination! I scaled the recipe down to 2 eggs, used whole milk instead of cream, forgot to put the chives on top. Thank you for a dilicious breakfast!

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
