Sunday Brunch Salmon and Eggs

Deceptively simple recipe for scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Pretty damn delicious, but can be hard to nail. Here are a few tips.

Step 1: Crack eggs into bowl.

A friend of mine who's a cook recommended breaking eggs against the bottom or side of the mixing bowl rather than the edge; he claims there's less of a chance of getting eggshell in the egg mixture, and so far I've found him to be right.

To get light, fluffy scrambled eggs, you need enough oil to thinly coat most of the bottom of the pan. There should be enough oil in the pan that when you pour the egg directly into the center of the oil puddle, it spreads out and does not touch bare pan. I like butter for this, both for the flavor and for how it spreads in the pan. Olive oil retains too much viscosity for my liking. Then, don't touch the eggs. Just don't. A spatula should never touch your eggs. Flip it with a toss. It's all in the wrist. Give it a bump forward, and as the egg is about to fall out of the pan, give the end of the pan a flick upward to redirect the egg over itself and back into the pan. You can practice with the heal from a loaf of bread. It's important to do it this way because it locks in the air that you whisked in previously. If you use the spatula, you'll disturb the air and flatten the egg. Pan flipping is the only way to cook eggs. Yes, if you get good enough, you can even do over-easy with the flip. I personally find it easier to pan flip than to spatula flip, because the spatula has to be found, then wiggled under the egg, and then turned, whereas the pan flip is one quick motion with no extra utensils.
