Indulge in a luxurious breakfast with these creamy scrambled eggs. Soft, custardy eggs are gently folded with delicate smoked salmon and fresh chives for a savory, elegant meal ready in 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk gently with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined but not frothy. Over-whisking can make the eggs tough.
Place a large non-stick skillet over low heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely without browning. Swirl the butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set slightly. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating large, soft curds.
Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, stirring slowly and constantly. The key to creamy eggs is low heat and patience. Avoid the temptation to turn up the heat.
When the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy (about 90% cooked), remove the pan from the heat entirely. The residual heat will finish the cooking process.
Immediately fold in the smoked salmon pieces and 1.5 tablespoons of the chopped chives. Stir gently to distribute.
Divide the scrambled eggs among four warm plates. Garnish with the remaining fresh chives and serve immediately with toast or a bagel.

Absolutely. You can substitute the unsalted butter with a dairy-free butter alternative or olive oil, and replace the heavy cream with a dairy-free cream or unsweetened almond milk. The texture may be slightly different but still delicious.
The secret is twofold: low heat and constant, gentle stirring. Cooking the eggs slowly prevents them from becoming dry and rubbery. Removing them from the heat just before they are fully cooked allows the residual heat to finish the job, ensuring a soft, custardy texture.
While smoked salmon is classic, you could also use flaked hot-smoked salmon, cooked trout, or even small cooked shrimp for a different twist.
This dish is best served immediately after cooking for the optimal texture and flavor. Reheating can overcook the eggs and salmon, making them tough. It's not recommended to make it in advance.
