Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon Preparation 

1- Break the eggs into a bowl. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and stir well with a fork (don't beat ) until the yolks and whites are thoroughly mixed. Stir in the thick cream or water - water will make extremely fluffy scrambled eggs, cream gives a richer, smooth texture. 

2- Heat the butter in the pan in which you intend to scramble the eggs. Add the strips of smoked salmon and toss gently with a wooden spoon over a low heat for a few seconds only until they change color.  Quickly pour in the eggs. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon, keeping all the egg mixture on the move. Continue to stir until the eggs are thick and creamy and almost set. 

3- Just before serving, stir in the drops of lemon juice and the finely chopped chives, or spring onion tops. Serve immediately.
