Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Tip:
Serve these Smoked Salmon Scramble Croissants immediately while the croissants are crisp and the scrambled eggs are still warm and creamy. Add a simple green salad, sliced avocado or fresh fruit for a more substantial brunch. A little extra chopped chives and freshly ground black pepper make an easy finishing touch.
Storage Tips:
For the best result, store the croissants, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Use the cooked eggs within 2 days and assemble the croissants only when ready to serve. Reheat the croissants briefly in the air fryer, warm the scrambled eggs gently and add the smoked salmon afterwards.
Wine Pairing:
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc is a lovely partner for smoked salmon and creamy scrambled eggs. Its freshness cuts through the buttery croissant and rich eggs while complementing the salty, smoky salmon. Brunch may technically still be breakfast, but nobody told the wine.
