Rye Toasts With Smoked Trout And Scrambled Eggs Recipes

CREAMY SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SMOKED TROUT AND GREEN ONIONS

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in large bowl to blend. Add trout, cream cheese, green onions, and chopped dill. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper; stir to mix.
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and stir slowly until eggs just hold together and are cooked through but still moist, about 4 minutes. Divide egg mixture among 4 plates. Garnish with dill sprigs, if desired, and serve.

TROUT TOAST WITH SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Crack eggs into a medium bowl and add 3/4 tsp. salt. Whisk until no streaks remain.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium. As soon as foaming subsides, add 2 slices of bread and cook until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plates, cooked side up. Repeat with another 2 Tbsp. butter and remaining 2 slices of bread. Season toast with salt. Wipe out skillet and let it cool 3 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in reserved skillet over medium-low. Once butter is foaming, cook egg mixture, stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula in broad sweeping motions, until some curds begin to form but eggs are still runny, about 2 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggs are barely set, about 1 minute.
• Spoon eggs over toast and top with trout. Finely grate lemon zest from one of the lemon halves over trout, then squeeze juice over toast. Season with pepper; scatter scallions and dill on top.
• Squeeze juice from remaining lemon half into a medium bowl. Add arugula and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Mound alongside toasts.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TROUT ROE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan until hot and foaming. Add the roe and cook gently for a minute or two, until its color begins to turn. Add the garlic, parsley, salt and pepper, stir carefully to combine and cook for another minute. Add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• Break the eggs into a small bowl, pour in the cream and mix together. Heat the rest of the butter in a large pan until it foams. Pour in the egg mixture, reduce the heat to low and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook slowly, until the eggs begin to form into curds. Add the roe and continue to cook for an additional minute or so, until the eggs are pillowy. Season to taste.

RYE TOASTS WITH SMOKED TROUT AND SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the trout, creme fraiche, lemon juice, capers, red onion and parsley. Season with salt and lemon to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.
• Heat oven to 180 degrees. Cut the crusts off the bread and brush both sides with melted butter. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in two batches, brown the bread on both sides, about one minute per side. Remove and keep warm in oven.
• In a bowl, whisk eggs, remaining melted butter, cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring continuously with a spatula, until just set and no longer runny. Remove from heat, add chives and transfer the skillet to oven to keep warm.
• Place a slice of toast on each plate. Divide trout mixture among toasts, spreading it to make an even platform for the scrambled eggs. Spoon the eggs in the center and top with a small spoonful of roe. Serve immediately.
