I am told breakfast is the most important meal of the day and must be eaten to provide energy for the day's work. However, sad to say, I managed to skip breakfast for most of my working life....sigh.  Now that I am retired, I have time for breakfast! and there is nothing better for breakfast than smoked salmon & scrambled eggs.  It is nutritious, delicious and easy to cook.

INGREDIENTS (2 serves)

• 4 slices of smoked salmon

• 2 large croissants

• 2 eggs

• 2 tablespoon evaporated milk

• 10 gm butter

• black pepper (freshly ground)

METHOD

1. Break the eggs in a small bowl. Add evaporated milk and a dash of black pepper. Stir well to combine. Set aside.  Heat butter in a pan until melted. Add the egg mixture and stir continuously (over moderately low heat) until a custard like texture is achieved.  Turn off the heat - the egg will continue to cook in the hot pan.

2. Cut each croissant into 4 pieces. Place the cut face down onto a hot pan and heat for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Alternatively,  place in an air fryer to crisp up the croissant (at 160°C for 2-3 minutes).

3. Place a piece of scrambled egg on top of the cut croissant.

4. Twirl half a slice of smoked salmon and place it on top of the scrambled egg. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
