Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 tsp everything bagel seasoning until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until foaming. Pour in the egg mixture, then gently push the edges toward the center with a silicone spatula as the eggs set, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softly set but still moist.
- Step 3: Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly runny (they'll continue cooking off-heat), then fold in 4 oz sliced smoked salmon and 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives. Serve immediately while warm.
