I had the pleasure of whipping up an improvised breakfast for our Ireland Study Abroad group, and a few people asked for the recipe. The wait is over!
I always look for unique ways to enjoy Boursin cheese, and since we had smoked salmon in the fridge while staying in Cashel, I decided to integrate the two into an improvised scramble. My version calls for more egg whites just because I prefer the taste and it’s a bit healthier (more protein) than using all the yolks.
Here goes:
The Smoked Salmon Scramble (to serve two)
Ingredients:
- 6 cage-free eggs (2 full eggs and four egg whites)
- 3 oz. of smoked salmon (sold in flat, sealed containers)
- 3 tbsp of Boursin cheese
- 1 tsp of Olive Oil or salted butter
- Mixed herb blend
- Salt & Pepper
Directions:
- Add eggs to a stainless-steel bowl, using two full eggs and whites from the other four
- Add salt, pepper and herbs to the eggs, beat mixture together
- Add olive oil or butter to pan, heat on medium
- Add egg mixture to heated pan and begin the fold eggs
- Add in salmon and break apart to ensure mixing with eggs
- Add in Boursin cheese and continue to cook
- Finish until partially firm – do not overcook!
- Serve with a basil garnish over a toast square
This is a quick and easy way to have a healthy breakfast – complete with a high protein count and the smooth taste of Boursin cheese. let me know if you make it at home and how you embellish. Enjoy!
