Description

No meal is simpler or more delicious than smoked salmon with eggs – truffle eggs! – and a pile of greens. Even better, it’s brain food!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 pasture-raised eggs
  • 2 teaspoons truffle oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 shallot or 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces watercress
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic or cider vinegar
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon

Instructions

  1. Coat a large skillet with half of the olive oil and warm it over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, drizzle with the truffle oil, and sprinkle with paprika. Cook 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are cooked through but the yolks are still soft.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, prepare the watercress. Coat a separate large skillet with the remaining olive oil. Add the shallot or onion and cook to 2 to 3 minutes until the shallot starts to soften. Add the watercress and cook for 1 minutes until wilted. Sprinkle with the vinegar.
  3. Divide the mixture among four plates and top each with an egg and 2 ounces of the smoked salmon. Serve immediately.
