Smoked Salmon and Egg Breakfast Mille-feuille is a layered, savory breakfast dish inspired by the classic French pastry. Crispy toast or puff pastry is stacked with creamy scrambled eggs, rich smoked salmon, and fresh herbs, creating a refined and delicious brunch centerpiece.

Ingredients

  • 4–6 slices thin bread or puff pastry sheets (toasted or baked)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp cream or milk
  • 1 tbsp butter (for scrambling)
  • 4 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche or cream cheese (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill or chives, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: arugula, capers

Instructions

  1. Toast or bake bread or pastry sheets until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly.
  2. In a bowl, whisk eggs with cream, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat butter in a skillet over low heat and scramble eggs slowly until soft and creamy.
  4. Start layering: place a crisp toast on a plate and spread with crème fraîche or cream cheese if using.
  5. Add a spoonful of scrambled eggs, then smoked salmon. Sprinkle with herbs and lemon zest if desired.
  6. Repeat layers (2–3 total), finishing with a top toast layer and optional garnish of herbs or arugula.
  7. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Use thin, crisp toast or puff pastry for best texture contrast.
  • Keep layers light to prevent sliding—use cream cheese as an edible ‘glue.’
  • Customize with avocado, veggies, or different herbs.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth.
  • Can be prepped in components but assemble just before serving.
