Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dressing
Gather Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Juice from ½ lemon (cut the lemon in half)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- A pinch of salt
Mix Dressing:
- In a large bowl, add the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt.
- Whisk Together: Use a whisk or fork to mix everything until smooth.
Add Salad Ingredients:
- ½ shallot: Thinly slice it.
- 2 teaspoons capers: Rinse under cold water if desired.
- 80g rocket (arugula): Add it to the bowl.
Set Aside:
- Don’t toss the salad yet; just leave it in the bowl until you're ready to serve.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, crack 6 eggs.
- Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of milk (for creaminess).
Beat the Eggs:
- Use a whisk or fork to mix the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the Pan:
- Put a non-stick frying pan on the stove over low-medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt until it bubbles (don’t let it brown).
Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit for a few seconds to start setting.
- Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges to the center.
- Cook until the eggs are soft and slightly runny (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
Toast the Bread:
- While the eggs cook, toast 2 slices of dark rye bread until golden and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet.
Plate the Toast:
- Once toasted, place one slice on each of two plates.
Add Scrambled Eggs:
- Spoon the scrambled eggs evenly onto each slice of toast.
Flake the Fish:
- Take 200g of hot smoked trout or salmon and flake it into chunky pieces using a fork.
- Scatter the flaked fish over the scrambled eggs.
Toss the Salad:
- Just before serving, gently toss the salad in the bowl to mix the ingredients.
Serve:
- Place the tossed salad on the side of the toast. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
