chickenlass Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I really should have know better than to do this... Hubby and I always like to have scrambled egg with a little smoked salmon on Christmas morning as a treat [don't have much time for breakfast usually] Well my three girls eggs are in such demand that I have been giving them to people as Christmas pressies over the last few days. Yesterday I took my last but one eggs down to my parents thinking that there would be more yesterday when I got home and again this morning . Guess what !! No EGGS!! I have just been out to ask them nicely to please lay at least one more for me but they are too busy feeding their faces. Looks as if it will be only a very very small breakfast tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I've just given away the last 4 eggs. I don't mind, they have gone to someone who will treasure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 like to have scrambled egg with a little smoked salmon on Christmas morning as a treat Can I ask how you serve this? We've had it a few times and always cut the salmon up and mix it into the scrambled egg but I'm beginning to wonder if they wouldn't be better served separately? Have just put the champagne in the fridge Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I like the scrambled egg quite "sloppy" Rob. I make sure the plates are warm and then put a portion of the egg on the plate in the centre with some softly rolled or folded slices of the salmon placed on top. Serve with toast or Brioche.. Jules Glad all your eggs go to good homes. I know they are all special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, just to double check, you don't cook your salmon at all (I know there's no need to)? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Definitely do not cook the salmon! Hope you enjoy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenlass Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 I use the thinly sliced smoked salmon Rob so no need to cook it. Enjoy your breaksfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Snap, scrambled egg, salmon and croissants here tomorrow morning . My eggs aren't great though, organic from my local farm shop so good, but I really miss having my own eggs . I'll enjoy my brekkie though, and I don't cook my salmon either, lightly scrambled eggs, still a bit runny and cold salmon, just the ticket in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Can't go far wrong with that Kate. I'm wondering how long it'd take me to get down to yours for brekkie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Same dilema here as they laydees have been off lay for a few days when I gave loads away on Thursday. I normally do scrambled egg with salmon, (the sliced stuff that I just cut into pieces and drop into the cooked egg) and served with hot buttered toast it'll be just croissants this year then A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Now I'm in a dilemma! I normally do the same as Andrew - drop the salmon pieces into the scrambled eggs but am tempted by the uncooked plan (I do like smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels). I nearly gave some eggs away today and then remembered about tomorrow morning so hurriedly put the lid back on Ethel! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I shall be having that sometime today. Our girls are laying very sporadically at the moment - KateA, I was hoping to give you some eggs last Friday but they let me down I use smoked trout from the Farmers' Market - and I prefer mine cut into pieces and slightly cooked by the hot egg.

chocolatedog Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I went down to the eglu first thing yesterday morning to find no eggs too!! And then we went to friends for the day....when I got back I found a soft-shelled egg lying out in the run.....for the first time ever..... Maybe they were in a huff because they were in the run all Christmas Day!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well I know why we're not getting eggs, Geri has gone a bit broody and I don't have the heart to plunge her belly into cold water in this weather. So will just have to wait a few weeks I guess - but is it normal that Margot should go out in sympathy with her A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
