Rye Toasts With Smoked Trout And Scrambled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the fish into 1/4-inch dice. In a bowl, combine the trout, creme fraiche, lemon juice, capers, red onion and parsley. Season with salt and lemon to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 4 hours.
• Heat oven to 180 degrees. Cut the crusts off the bread and brush both sides with melted butter. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Working in two batches, brown the bread on both sides, about one minute per side. Remove and keep warm in oven.
• In a bowl, whisk eggs, remaining melted butter, cream and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring continuously with a spatula, until just set and no longer runny. Remove from heat, add chives and transfer the skillet to oven to keep warm.
• Place a slice of toast on each plate. Divide trout mixture among toasts, spreading it to make an even platform for the scrambled eggs. Spoon the eggs in the center and top with a small spoonful of roe. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan until hot and foaming. Add the roe and cook gently for a minute or two, until its color begins to turn. Add the garlic, parsley, salt and pepper, stir carefully to combine and cook for another minute. Add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• Break the eggs into a small bowl, pour in the cream and mix together. Heat the rest of the butter in a large pan until it foams. Pour in the egg mixture, reduce the heat to low and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook slowly, until the eggs begin to form into curds. Add the roe and continue to cook for an additional minute or so, until the eggs are pillowy. Season to taste.
