Salmon Eggs for Breakfast


This high protein,soy/ dairy/ gluten-free breakfast takes less than 15 minutes to cook and eat when you are rushing out the door to work. It also makes a great alternative to fast food breakfasts! All you need is a decent skillet (8” seasoned cast iron skillet with a proper fitting pot lid is perfect), and the ingredients in the fridge. Embellishments of left-over black beans, salsa, avocado slices, or sauteed kale and onions are great for more nutrition and satiety, as is some fruit like half an apple. A larger skillet allows you to make more servings at one time (good for a quick family breakfast).

Serves one
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1- 6” organic corn tortilla
1-2 eggs (any size)
1” square portion of smoked salmon, or left over cooked salmon, flaked apart
3 shakes of dried Italian herbs
2 Tablespoons sauerkraut (Firefly Kitchen’s or Bubbies are both great brands)
2 tsp. olive oil
Sea salt, black pepper
Other optional accompaniments: salsa, left over black beans, avocado slices, sauteed kale and onions, minced cilantro.

Directions:
1.  Have the ingredients at hand, out of the fridge. Heat an 8” skillet over medium heat, and add 2 tsp olive oil, spreading it around the pan. Add the corn tortilla, and cook 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate.
2.  Letting the pan get hot (but not smoking), crack the eggs into the pan, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some pepper, sprinkle the flaked salmon on top, add a dash of dried herbs,  and cover with a lid.
3.  Turn the heat to medium low, and let the eggs cook for 3-5 minutes (set a timer if you need to), until the white is set and the yolk is still runny (or to your preference); you may want to turn the heat down to low after two minutes if you have a cast iron skillet (it retains heat really well). 
4.  Using a metal spatula, remove the eggs and salmon from the pan, place on top of the heated corn tortilla, and top with the sauerkraut . Serve hot, with other accompaniments if you’d like.

  1. Eggs are really good for health. There are couple of traditional people who avoid to eat eggs due to their region. I am really conscious for my eggs recipe. I surely bake this recipe at my home.

  3. Salmon eggs are really best for breakfast. Eggs are great for the eyes. Eggs promote healthy hair and nails because of their high sulphur content and wide array of vitamins and minerals.
