Smoked salmon has such a rich and salty flavor that a little bit goes a long way in this sophisticated take on scrambled eggs. Consider a slice of hearty German rye bread with a schmear of Neufchâtel cheese to accompany this savory dish.

Ingredients

4 large eggs
4 large egg whites
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

Preparation

Whisk eggs, egg whites and pepper in a small bowl until well blended.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add scallion greens and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook until they just begin to set, about 10 seconds; stir in salmon. Cook, stirring gently from time to time, until the eggs have thickened into soft, creamy curds, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
