Plus, it’s super easy to whip up with ingredients you might already have on hand!
Ingredients:
- 1 slice of smoked salmon (you can also use lightly salted salmon)
- 1 large egg
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or even a brioche bun work great!)
- 10g (about 1 tablespoon) butter
- A little fresh herbs (parsley or dill, finely chopped, for freshness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
- Craft Your Creamy Egg: Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Crack the egg directly into the pan (no need to whisk it beforehand). Immediately season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently and continuously stir the egg with a spoon or spatula. You’re aiming for a soft, creamy, curd-like texture, where the yolk and white combine beautifully without overcooking. The key is to keep it moving and remove it from the heat just as it sets to a tender, custardy consistency – avoid browning or drying it out!
- Assemble Your Masterpiece: While your egg cooks, toast your bread slices in a pan or toaster until they’re golden and delightfully crispy. Once toasted, immediately spoon the warm, creamy egg onto one slice. Layer a piece of smoked salmon on top of the egg, followed by the thin slices of fresh tomato. Sprinkle generously with your finely chopped fresh herbs. Finally, cap it all off with the second slice of bread.
Your delicious, aromatic salmon and creamy egg sandwich is ready! Enjoy every bite!
