Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

3 large organic eggs
¼ cup cottage cheese
¼ tsp. sea salt, plus more to taste
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
2 oz. hot-smoked salmon

STEP 1

Add eggs, cottage cheese, and salt and pepper to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and lightly frothy. Break salmon into small pieces and stir into the egg mixture.

Add the fresh dill and cook until the eggs reach a soft scramble — there should be little to no visible liquid in the pan.
