Smoked Salmon Scramble

Smoked salmon and cream cheese are a classic combo that's usually served on a bagel. This recipe has the combo warmed up with the addition of scrambled eggs for a delicious and healthful breakfast treat!

We are both salmon fans so this South Beach recipe was a great "find." The only "problem" is that smoked salmon can be costly, so it won't be a regular breakfast meal — but it's a wonderful and (did I mention) delicious weekend treat. This recipe makes 2 servings.

Smoked Salmon Scramble

• 1 tsp canola oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 large egg white, lightly beaten

• 1 oz reduced fat cream cheese, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat for 1-2 minutes.
2. Add eggs and allow to set (10 seconds).
3. Sprinkle salmon, cream cheese and chives over eggs.
4. Scramble until just cooked, about 1 minute. Season to taste with pepper.
