Equipment: Non-stick frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Knob of butter (about 15g)
- 1 smoked mackerel fillet (about 75g), skin removed and flaked
- Small handful of chives or parsley
- Black pepper
Optional extras
- 1 tbsp cream or milk
Method
- Beat the eggs with the cream, if using, and a little black pepper.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over a low-medium heat.
- Pour in the eggs and stir gently until almost set.
- Fold through the flaked mackerel and herbs, warm for a few seconds, and serve. Taste before adding salt — smoked mackerel already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Ready-cooked smoked mackerel is inexpensive and keeps well in the fridge. Serve with a few cherry tomatoes or wilted spinach.
