Brunch

Ok, I was in the mood for breakfast food for dinner, it is a feeling that I think we all get now and then, so I decided to try something from rachael that is brand new, never been had before by me.......Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon.........now I know your thinking "Fish mixed with eggs???Brad have you lost your mind? Do you dare cross that line??".......yes folks, I dare........

Ingredients
1/4 pound sliced smoked salmon
12 eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
12 to 15 blades of fresh chives, finely chopped


Reserve 2 slices of salmon for garnish. Chop the remaining salmon into very small pieces.

Whisk your eggs and cream together. Add 1/2 of your chopped chives and season eggs with salt and pepper. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in the pan and add eggs. Scramble eggs with a wooden spoon or really any spoon will do. Do not cook eggs until dry. When eggs have come together but remain wet, stir in chopped salmon. Remove pan from the stove and place on a trivet. Garnish the eggs with remaining salmon and chives and serve right out of the warm pan.


The Verdict........this was fantastic, the flavor of the salmon did not overpower the eggs like I thought they might. I only took a couple of bites(thank you diet)but it was enough to know that this would make an excellent brunch item. I could also see maybe tossing a few sauteed mushrooms to this dish or maybe top it with some caviar.

Also the cats went nuts for this one, they each ate about 1/2 a cup each, so kudos to rachael from the cat community.

Until tomorrow......
