These amped up scrambled eggs taste and look special enough for brunch guests, but take just 15 minutes to prepare, making it ideal for more everyday breakfasts too. According to Chef Eric, comfort food is meant to remind you of family and childhood, and this one does it for him. It’s also a great way to enjoy lox (brined salmon) without the bagel and cream cheese. We’ve called for the more widely available smoked salmon, which is often used in place of lox. Scrambling the eggs over medium-low and then low heat means they will remain soft and creamy. Pair this with toast and fruit for a quick complete meal.

1 Tbsp

Red onion
