Croissant Smoked Salmon Bake Food

SMOKED SALMON SCRAMBLE CROISSANTS

Steps:

• Heat the grill. Split and lightly toast the croissants. Meanwhile, make the scrambled eggs. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Beat and season the eggs and scramble lightly in the pan. When the eggs are just cooked, but still soft, stir in the double cream and chopped chives.
• Fill each croissant with a few slices of smoked salmon and the creamy scrambled egg. Sprinkle with some black pepper and extra chopped chives.

CROISSANT SMOKED SALMON BAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, half the chives and some seasoning.
• Combine most of the remaining chives with the lemon zest, soft cheese and black pepper in a separate bowl. Spread the soft cheese mixture over the bases of the croissants, then divide the smoked salmon between them and sandwich back together with the croissant tops.
• Pour the egg mixture into a 38 x 23cm baking dish. Nestle the croissant sandwiches, top-side down, in the egg mixture and leave to soak for 20 mins. After this time, carefully flip over, sprinkle with the remaining chives and black pepper, then bake for 20-25 mins until the tops are golden brown and the egg mixture is set. Leave to stand for a few minutes, then serve.

BAKED EGGS WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and brush six 8-ounce ramekins or ovenproof custard cups with butter. Place the ramekins or cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook until very soft, 7 to 10 minutes, reducing heat if necessary to prevent browning.
• Stir in 6 tablespoons cream, the crème fraîche, dill, lemon zest and remaining 1/4 teaspoon. Remove from heat. Divide mixture among the ramekins.
• Crack 2 eggs into each ramekin and float 1 tablespoon of cream on top of each, then sprinkle tops with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are just set, and yolk is still runny, 12 to 16 minutes. (The eggs will look slightly puffed at the sides of the ramekins, but still jiggly in the center and that's O.K. The eggs will continue to cook once out of the oven.) Remove from oven and transfer ramekins onto individual plates for serving.
• To serve, top each ramekin with some of the smoked salmon and a little more dill. Serve warm.
