Prepare Salmon
Slice smoked salmon into soft ribbons, chop chives finely, and cut cream cheese into small pieces so it melts gently into the eggs. · 3 min

Melt Butter
Heat a skillet over low heat and melt butter until it foams lightly without browning. · 1 min

Cook Eggs
Pour eggs into the skillet and stir slowly with a spatula, sweeping the base as soft curds form. · 3 min

Ingredient substitutions

Egg

No direct substitute: Do not replace the eggs if making this authentic scramble.

Smoked salmon

No direct substitute: Smoked salmon defines the dish, so omitting it changes the recipe.

Cream cheese

Butter: Use a smaller amount for richness, though the texture will be less creamy.

Chive

Black pepper: Adds a fresh sharp finish if chives are unavailable, but without the green onion aroma.

Butter

Olive oil: Keeps the eggs from sticking, though the flavor is less dairy rich.

Salt

Black pepper: Use more pepper and rely on the smoked salmon for saltiness.
