Ree Drummond's original recipe found here

Scrambled Eggs w/ Chives & Smoked Salmon

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 ounces chopped smoked salmon
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for garnish
• Toasted bagels, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

1. Whisk the eggs. Then, into a medium bowl, pass the eggs through a fine mesh strainer. Add the half-and-half and whisk until smooth. Add the pepper and whisk until well combined.
2. Heat a nonstick skillet on low heat and melt the butter. Pour the eggs into the skillet. Using a heat resistant rubber spatula, stir the egg mixture over low heat to create soft, creamy curds. Continue to cook until soft and creamy, and then sprinkle in the salmon. Cook to light and fluffy. Serve, garnished with chives. Serve with a toasted bagel.
