Café scramble with smoked salmon
This type of scramble is great for brunch with guests. Smoked salmon is a luxury ingredient but this recipe uses only a little.
Instructions
Step 1 Place prepared potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 3 minutes then drain. Return pan to the heat to dry potatoes.
Step 2 In a large frying pan, heat oil and add potatoes. Fry until golden and crispy. Toss in onion and capsicum pieces. When they begin to soften, add mushrooms. Stir in chilli flakes, capers and spring onion. Then prepare eggs.
Step 3 Break eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and add milk, half the salmon and half the chopped herbs.
Step 4 When it’s time to eat, pour egg mixture into pan with vegetables. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently scramble eggs and mix with vegetables. When eggs are set, spoon mixture onto a warmed platter or plates. Top with remaining salmon and sprinkle remaining herbs on top.
