Smoked Salmon and Veggie Scramble

Serves: 1
Carbs per serve: 3g

Ingredients

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup chopped fresh spinach or kale
2 eggs, beaten
50g smoked salmon, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives or dill, to garnish

Method

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 2–3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Add the spinach or kale and cook, stirring, for 1 minute until just wilted.
Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables. Allow the eggs to begin setting before gently stirring and folding them through the vegetables to create a soft scramble.
When the eggs are almost cooked through, fold in the smoked salmon and cook for a further 45 seconds, just until warmed through.
Season with salt and pepper, garnish with fresh chives or dill, and serve immediately.
