Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs, 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble lightly around the edges.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring with a rubber spatula, until the eggs are softly set and creamy with no visible liquid, about 3-4 minutes — the eggs should be moist and slightly glossy.
  4. Step 4: Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in 4 oz smoked salmon (cut into 1/2-inch pieces) and 1 tbsp drained capers, and let sit for 1 minute to warm the salmon through.
