Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan until hot and foaming. Add the roe and cook gently for a minute or two, until its color begins to turn. Add the garlic, parsley, salt and pepper, stir carefully to combine and cook for another minute. Add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove pan from heat and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Break the eggs into a small bowl, pour in the cream and mix together. Heat the rest of the butter in a large pan until it foams. Pour in the egg mixture, reduce the heat to low and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook slowly, until the eggs begin to form into curds. Add the roe and continue to cook for an additional minute or so, until the eggs are pillowy. Season to taste.

Accurate!

Hi! Just wondering what the accompanying (beautiful) photograph of potatoes, peppercorns + eggs have to do with this recipe?

A bit oily. Maybe less butter and note to self cook the roe much less as they will cook further in the scramble.

Where in the world does one get trout roe? Do I have to catch a pregnant fish?

Could this be accurate, to add more than a half pound of roe to the scrambled eggs? I want to do this recipe, and need to know before messing it all up. Thanks.

Accurate!

Come on over to Paris. You can get it in almost any supermarket.
