Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 150 grams smoked salmon
• 100 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 small red onion
• 1 jalapeño pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 lime

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the milk, and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and cilantro. Set all vegetables aside.

Step 3

Slice the smoked salmon into bite-sized strips. Reserve for later use.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

Step 5

Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and stir. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the tomatoes release some of their juices.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and set aside.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them cook slowly, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs begin to set but are still creamy.

Step 8

Once the eggs are almost fully cooked, fold in the sautéed vegetables. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Gently add the smoked salmon strips to the skillet, folding them into the eggs and vegetables. Cook for another 1-2 minutes just until the salmon is warmed through.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 11

Serve the Fiesta Eggs and Salmon immediately, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a zesty finish.
