| This preparation is a great way to use up a few scraps of smoked salmon. The salmon should be added at the last minute before serving so it doesnt cook further. When I originally had this preparation, it was served as part of a Sunday brunch in soup bowls. The quantity presented below is more appropriate for a simple amuse-bouche. |

| 2 |
eggs, lightly beaten |
| 30 grams |
butter |
| |
salt, to taste |
| 2 tablespoons |
smoked salmon, broken into small pieces |
| 2 teaspoons |
minced chives |
|
| 1. |
Melt 20 grams of butter in a double-boiler over medium heat. Add the eggs and stir continuously with a rubber spatula until they thicken like pudding. If curds start to form, remove from heat for a while. When thick, add the remaining butter and continue stirring until melted and blended. Test for salt. |
| 2. |
Add salmon and chives to eggs and serve in small bowls, or empty egg shells. |
|
| Yield: 2 servings. |
