The Art of Creating a Ramsey Family Christmas Day Tradition: Smoked Salmon Scrambled Egg and Croissant

This recipe is a beloved family tradition that has been passed down through generations, and it's a must-have for any Christmas Day celebration. The combination of smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, and toasted croissants may seem simple, but the secret to its richness and sumptuousness lies in the timing and technique.

The first step in preparing this dish is to slice the croissants into rounds. Once you have your croissant slices, it's time to season them lightly with salt. This may seem like a small detail, but it's actually the key to bringing out the full flavor of the croissant. The chef suggests that the secret behind a really good breakfast lies in the timing and the crystals on the croissants.

With your croissant slices seasoned, it's time to add the smoked salmon. This is where the magic happens. The chef recommends twisting the salmon to let it fall over the croissant, allowing it to sit naturally on top. This will help bring out the rich flavor of the salmon and pair it perfectly with the buttery croissant.

Next, it's time to toast the croissants. Simply place them in a dry pan and cook until they're golden brown. The quasars have a lot of butter in them, which makes this step especially easy. As the croissants toast, you'll notice that they start to smell like a caramelized waffle - it's absolutely delicious.

Once your croissants are toasted, it's time to add the scrambled eggs. Unlike many recipes, this one doesn't involve whipping up the eggs beforehand. Instead, you want to break them down just enough to create nice, rich, creamy scrambled eggs. Add a generous knob of butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the eggs are cooked through.

One of the most important things about making great scrambled eggs is being careful not to overcook them. If you're not careful, they can quickly become tough and rubbery. But with a little practice and patience, you can achieve that perfect creamy texture.

To add some extra flavor to your scrambled eggs, try adding a bit of cream towards the end of cooking. This will help stop the eggs from overcooking and give them a silky smooth texture. Then, fold in some chopped chives for added freshness and color.

Finally, it's time to put everything together. Place a toasted croissant on a plate, top with a generous slice of smoked salmon, and finish with a dollop of scrambled egg. The result is truly stunning - a delicious combination of flavors and textures that's sure to become a new holiday tradition.

As you take your first bite, the flavors will meld together in perfect harmony. The rich flavor of the croissant pairs perfectly with the smoky salmon, while the creamy scrambled eggs add a luxurious touch. This dish is truly fit for royalty - or at least, anyone who's lucky enough to have it on their Christmas Day table.
