These scrambled eggs contain everything but the bagel! Made with everything seasoning, smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes and capers, this is one breakfast everyone will wake up for!
Everything seasoning scrambled eggs are amazingly good. If you love everything seasoning like I do, you will adore this recipe.
The story is that Sunday came, my weekend edition of the WSJ was waiting to be read, the coffee was made, and I was craving bagels. But I had everything but the bagel!
Didn't have any. Didn't want to drive and get some. So I created these scrambled eggs.
Not only do I love scrambled eggs, usually with Lawry's seasoning salt, but I also love everything seasoning.
What is everything seasoning?
Though there are many recipes, with all kinds of proportions, most contain poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. But you can also use dried minced onion and garlic!
It's hard to beat it since it goes with so many great foods. Yes we know it tastes great on a bagel, but this amazing everything seasoning is also mighty tasty on so many things.
Great on fish or chicken, perfect on veggies - especially avocados, love it on corn on the cob, and hummus.
Use it on a cheese ball, make your own crackers, sprinkle on cottage cheese or baked potatoes - well, I think you get the idea!
These scrambled eggs and salmon are pretty good. Another good thing is they are quick and easy to make.
So easy; I could, at least if I wanted, make them during the week when there often isn't time for a REAL breakfast. (Would have to skip my time allotment for the WSJ, though!)
Anyway...I had everything I needed for lox and bagels, except the bagels. So I invented the best egg scramble recipe EVER!
And I flavored them with everything that would go on a bagel, including the topping on an EVERYTHING bagel.
You didn't see that coming, did you? Well maybe you did.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals, when it is a REAL breakfast. Often times it is just oatmeal or yogurt, which is fine, but to me, those just aren't a REAL breakfast.
A REAL breakfast has scrambled eggs, and toast and hopefully potatoes and bacon or sausage or biscuits or waffles or pancakes or even French toast. And fresh OJ.
Well, fresh OJ doesn't happen often and often enough REAL breakfasts don't happen either.
A REAL breakfast makes teenagers get out of bed at a reasonable time on the weekends.
A REAL breakfast makes everyone happy and ready to weed the garden. Or clean the garage. Or their office. Or their basement. Or do their homework. Yes, REAL breakfasts do work a certain magic on everyone.
So thank goodness for Sundays and REAL breakfasts. Well, not even all Sundays, but sometimes some Saturdays, too.
You've got this!

Description
These everything seasoned scrambled eggs are almost better than an everything bagel. I love everything seasoning and it is perfect with scrambled eggs!
Ingredients
2 T butter
1 T cream
4 large eggs, whisked well
2 green onions, finely chopped (keeping some for garnish)
1 tomato, rough chop
2 oz cream cheese, cut into 1" cubes
2 oz hot smoked salmon, flaked into pieces but lox can also be used
2 t drained capers
Everything Seasoning Mixture: Use it all
1 t sesame seeds
½ t poppy seeds
1 t dried minced onions
½ t onion powder
¼ t garlic powder
½ t salt
And for a future recipe thought: Next time I plan to use bagel chips and stir them in. Kind of like Jewish migas! Will let you know...
Instructions
Directions:
Melt butter in skillet over medium low heat.
Whisk eggs with cream.
Add the eggs and let them slowly cook on bottom while folding them into the center of the pan. Do this all around outer edges of pan.
When eggs are almost cooked to your liking, fold in the green onions, chopped tomato, cream cheese cubes, salmon and capers. Stir in the seasoning.
Cook a few seconds until all is warm. Serve on an everything bagel.
Notes
These scrambled eggs are great for a crowd! Just increase the ingredients per person.
Pam says
I know this is good! I make my own Everything Seasoning, just like for bagels and use it frequently. Don't think I have on eggs for some reason though and will try your way. Yum! Breakfast is my fave meal and this is perfect!
sherry says
this sounds fabulous Abbe. i too think a real breakfast has to have eggs and possibly bacon and/or smoked salmon and so on! and a hash brown for good measure. cheers sherry
Mimi says
I love that you used hot-smoked salmon, and I love the added capers. Just a fabulous breakfast dish.
Abbe says
I tend to like hot smoked salmon more than lox. Capers are without a doubt one of my faves!
shannon weber says
This sounds AMAZING, Abbe! Seriously, who needs bagels when everything I've ever lusted after for breakfast is right here? Absolutely going to find time to make this for myself on some indulgent weekend morning. It's happening.
Carol at Wild Goose Tea says
Who needs bagels? I sure wouldn't. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal too. Not sure why, but everything doesn't have to be explained. I too make the point of 'real breakfast' over just cereal. I had to pin it.
Liz Berg says
Much as I adore lox and bagels, your eggs look even better! See you on Monday! Cannot wait!
Guru Uru says
Haha bagel on the side with this delicious looking recipe 😀

Thalia @ butter and brioche says
what a great breakfast to start the day.. definitely recreating this recipe in my kitchen for breakfast. yum!
Tricia @ Saving room for dessert says
That would make me want to get up in the morning! I remember making pancakes on Saturdays for my teenagers, and their friends, and friends of a friend. I cooked breakfast until noon. Love these eggs - with or without a bagel. This would be my choice - lots of protein and filling.
sprinklesandsauce says
totally with you on the Real breakfast! yum!
Abbe Odenwalder says
Yay! to REAL breakfasts! thanks!
Alice // Hip Foodie Mom says
Hi Abbe! I'm with you on the real, hearty breakfasts (the most important meal of the day!) but yeah unfortunately these only happen on the weekends or sometimes throughout the week during the summer. . but thank God for breakfast. love this!
Abbe Odenwalder says
We are in total agreement, Alice! And thanks for visiting!
dentistvschef says

Salute for your photography skills, it's not that easy to photograph scrambled eggs.....
Abbe Odenwalder says
Well, dentist chef, that's a real compliment! I hate taking photos and yours are always so good! Thanks!
Daniela Grimburg says
Oh Abbe, I love your approach to breakfast, I mean REAL breakfast 🙂
Couldn't agree more with you.
These scrambled eggs are a fantastic combination of great flavors and textures and I can't wait to try them for the weekend.
Abbe Odenwalder says
it is a good approach, right? Just too bad it doesn't happen every day! Enjoy them, Daniela. They hit the spot!
Angie Schneider says
This can be my LUNCH! My favourite meal is breakfast too, but it is nothing fancy, simply just bread, cheese, and fruit. Maybe I should cook myself a REAL breakfast some time too.
Abbe Odenwalder says
This could be lunch! Sounds like your breakfast is quite good, given that your breads are over the top! Let's switch places!
Cheri Savory Spoon says
Hi Abbe, breakfast is my favorite meal as well, I love breakfast for dinner, but never miss breakfast for breakfast. Love this!
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks, Cheri! I love to try to eat breakfast every day, but I admit that right now I just had my container of yogurt and a DIET Coke. Is there no hope for me?
Kitchen Riffs says
Like Holly, we're making breakfast for dinner tonight too! Mainly because we like to eat a real breakfast later in the day. Although if we sleep in on a weekend, real breakfast happens sometimes then. 😉 Good dish -- something I'd make! Thanks.
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks John. We eat a lot of brinners, too! They always seem to hit the spot!
Holly @ abakershouse.com says
I am making breakfast for dinner tonight-- love your dish!
Abbe Odenwalder says
Thanks, Holly! This is so quick, and easy and good! just don't forget the bagels!
