Soft Eggs Eggerøre with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

• 5 Eggs
• 3 tbsp cream
• 1 tbsp butter
• 3 oz smoked salmon, torn
• 2 tbsp chives, snipped
• 4 slices dark rye or crispbread
• Salt and black pepper

Method

1. Whisk the Eggs with the cream and a small pinch of salt — the salmon brings its own.
2. Melt the butter over low heat, add the Eggs, and stir patiently in wide ribbons until thick, custardy, and just barely set.
3. Off the heat, fold in half the chives; the eggs will finish in their own warmth.
4. Spoon over rye or crispbread, drape the smoked salmon on top, and finish with the rest of the chives and a grind of pepper.
