Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the egg mixture, then gently stir with a silicone spatula for 2-3 minutes until eggs are softly set and still moist, scraping the bottom to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat while eggs are still slightly runny; immediately top with 3 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon and a final sprinkle of fresh chives.
