“Sometimes the flavour of smoked salmon is just so tempting. It’s moist and easy to swallow in smaller pieces and with creamy scrambled egg, feels like a treat.”

Preparation time:5 minutes

Serves:1

Cooking time:5 minutes

If you need a very soft or purée diet, try blending the salmon with a little crème fraîche and serve on the side. You may also find it easier to swallow egg that has been scrambled very lightly (so still moist) and leave out the chopped tomato.

Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp milk (full fat)
- 15g of butter
- 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 tomato, skinned, deseeded and chopped (optional)
- Smoked salmon in small strips
- Tomato sauce

Method
1. Beat the egg with the milk.
2. Melt the butter over a low heat, then add the egg mixture.
3. Cook slowly, stirring all the time.
4. When the mixture has thickened and looks soft and creamy, add the cheese and the chopped tomato.
5. Serve immediately with small strips of smoked salmon and a dash of tomato sauce.
