Gordon Ramsay Christmas Breakfast Salmon Recipe
Cook a gordon ramsay christmas breakfast salmon recipe with smoked salmon, eggs, butter, chives, and lemon for a simple, elegant holiday dish.
Equipment
- Non-stick saucepan (for eggs)
- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- Frying pan (optional for warming salmon)
- Toaster or grill pan
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Mixing bowl
- Serving plates
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g smoked salmon slices
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp fresh chives chopped
- 1 tsp fresh dill chopped
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Start by toasting the sourdough bread until golden and crisp. Set aside but keep warm.
Step 2: Crack and Mix the Eggs
- Crack the eggs into a saucepan (yes, straight into the pan—this is key). Add butter but do not turn on the heat yet.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs Gently
- Place the pan over medium heat and begin stirring continuously with a spatula. Move the pan on and off the heat every 20–30 seconds to control the cooking. This creates soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
Step 4: Add Creaminess
- Once the eggs are softly set, remove from heat and stir in crème fraîche. This stops the cooking and adds richness.
Step 5: Season and Add Herbs
- Add salt, pepper, chives, and dill. Stir gently to combine.
Step 6: Plate the Dish
- Place toasted bread on a plate, spoon the creamy eggs on top, and layer smoked salmon slices beautifully over or beside the eggs.
Step 7: Finish with Lemon
- Drizzle a little lemon juice over the salmon and eggs for brightness. Serve immediately.
