Ingredients

5 large eggs
1 tablespoon 2% milk (See Note 1 for alternatives)
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
Olive oil spray
3 chives minced
2 ounces lox (smoked salmon) roughly chopped (See Note 2 for types.)

Instructions

Crack the eggs into a bowl, along with the milk, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow the salt to start to break down the protein in the eggs, which produces softer eggs.
While the eggs are resting, chop the lox and chives.
Heat a small nonstick skillet (I used an 8-inch nonstick) over medium heat. Once hot, spritz the skillet with olive oil spray.
Pour the eggs into the pan. Once the eggs start to barely set on the bottom, slowly stir the eggs with a rubber spatula, gently scraping the bottom of the skillet. Add the chives and cook until the eggs are just set, but soft and slightly wet. The eggs will continue to cook when removed from the heat.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the smoked salmon. Serve.

Notes

Note 1: The more fat in the milk, the creamier the eggs will be. I used 2% (reduced fat) milk, but you can use anything from nonfat milk to heavy cream. For a dairy-free option, replace the milk with water or a neutral tasting plant-based milk, such as unsweetened soy or almond milk.

Note 2: This recipe calls for lox, but cold-smoked or hot-smoked smoked salmon can be substituted. The flavor and texture will be a bit different, particularly with hot-smoked salmon, but still delicious.
