It’s definitely a weekend breakfast, because it took me a bit to prepare this babies. But if you feel like a fancy breakfast in a restaurant, make blinis.
You will need for the blinis:
- 170g wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- salt and black pepper
- 290ml milk
- 2 tsp mustard powder
- 150g cheddar cheese, grated
- small handful chopped fresh chives
- 4 egg whites
- pinch salt
- knob of unsalted butter
For the scrambled eggs:
- 4 eggs (plus 4 egg yolks)
- salt and pepper
- knob of unsalted butter
To serve:
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
- 250g/9oz smoked salmon
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Start with preparing blinis. Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and the milk to make a smooth batter. Add the mustard powder, cheddar and chives and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed. With a metal spoon mix the eggs whites into the dough.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat, and spoon large tablespoons of the batter into the pan to make medium sized pancakes(fry until golden brown on each side).
For the scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs in a bowl, and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Melt the butter and pour in the eggs, stirring a little to break the eggs up slightly as they set. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and set the eggs aside to finish cooking for a further 1-2 minutes.
To serve, place two blinis onto each of four serving plates, spoon on the scrambled eggs, and sprinkle over the chopped chives. Arrange the smoked salmon on the side, and finish with the lemon wedges.
Enjoy, Marta

The blinis sound good enough to be eaten on their own. Yum!
