Smoked Salmon Scramble With Feta

PaulaG's Note:

I had some smoked salmon and was looking for something different to make with it. I found a couple of recipes that when combined led to this creation. If makes a hearty brunch of light dinner and is delicious served with whole wheat toast and sliced tomatoes.

• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 tablespoon butter , divided
• 2 medium green onions , sliced
• ½ roasted red pepper , diced

• 3 ounces smoked salmon , crumbled
• 5 eggs or 1 ¼ cups egg substitute
• 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• salt
• pepper

Directions:

1. Melt half the butter in a non-stick skillet; add the green onions, red bell pepper and artichoke hearts, stirring until onions are wilted.
2. Add the smoked salmon and continue to stir until heated through.
3. Remove salmon mixture to a small dish and keep warm while preparing the eggs.
4. In a medium bowl beat the eggs or egg substitute with the yogurt and basil adding salt and pepper to taste.

I agree with the other 2 reviewers, this is very good! I used some orange and yellow peppers that had to be used up. Also used fresh basil from the garden. Thanks for posting Paula. Made for ZWT6.

I echo Ev - Oh my goodness! I also lucked out w/this brunch dish. I used our own smoked salmon & had to make it w/o the artichokes, but did add a bit of finely-diced sun-dried tomato. Every piece of this recipe works to its advantage & made it a true flavor sensation for us. Thx for sharing this.

Oh my goodness! I really lucked out with this recipe. I had a bit of smoked salmon left and made this for my lunch today. Absolute bliss! The addition of the yoghurt to the eggs makes them creamy and fluffy and imparts the slightest tang - which goes great with the salmon. The sauteed veggies and salmon were a great combo and the feta cheese, added at the end, just got melty, but stayed intact. A wonderful recipe!
