Crack eggs into a mixing bowl. Add milk or cream along with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
02 -
Set a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, allowing it to coat the base evenly without browning.
03 -
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for several seconds until it begins to set at the edges.
04 -
Using a heat-resistant spatula, gently stir the eggs, drawing them from the edges toward the center to form soft curds. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the eggs are mostly set yet still slightly creamy.

Scatter smoked salmon strips over the eggs. Cook gently for approximately 1 minute, just until the salmon is heated through and the eggs reach your preferred doneness.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Transfer immediately to plates and garnish with chopped chives.
