Ingredients

Makes 8 open-faced sandwiches, serving 4 as a light main course

For scrambled eggs

10 large eggs
1/4 cup cream cheese, cut into pieces and softened
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

For sandwiches

1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
8 slices rye bread
2 cups thinly sliced English cucumber
3/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1pound thinly sliced smoked salmon
8 thin lemon slices
  1. Make scrambled eggs:

    Step 1

    Whisk together eggs, cream cheese, white pepper, and salt to taste until cream cheese breaks up into very small pieces. Heat butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook eggs, stirring constantly, until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cool.

  2. Make sandwiches:

    Step 2

    Spread butter evenly on 1 side of each bread slice and arrange cucumber slices, overlapping slightly, on top. Spoon eggs over cucumber and top with bell pepper, salmon, and lemon slices.

  3. Step 3

    Squeeze lemon over salmon before eating.

  • My husband and I were given a packet of smoked salmon as a gift, so I wanted a recipe that would use it well. We halved this recipe and made it for breakfast this morning. Delicious! Husband raved about it, and we've added it to our recipe box permanently.
