Ingredients
Serves 2
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
- 100g smoked salmon, sliced into ribbons
- 100g fresh spinach, washed
- 50g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional, for extra flavour)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill or chives, for garnish
Method
- Prep Your Ingredients
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, and whisk until fully combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (Remember, the smoked salmon and feta bring their own saltiness.) - Wilt the Spinach
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. If using garlic, sauté it briefly until fragrant, then add the spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. - Cook the Eggs
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Gently stir with a spatula, moving the eggs from the edges toward the centre for soft, creamy curds. - Add the Smoked Salmon and Feta
Once the eggs are about 70% cooked (still slightly runny), gently fold in the smoked salmon ribbons, feta, and the wilted spinach. Continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until just combined and warmed through. - Serve with a Flourish
Divide the mixture onto plates or serve directly from the pan for a rustic touch. Garnish with fresh dill or chives and an extra crack of black pepper.
