It’s rich without being heavy, rustic but still kind of fancy. And yeah, it’s built from simple stuff, but it tastes like you spent all day making it (spoiler: you didn’t). … Read more
I kinda made this by accident the first time—just had eggs and leftover smoked salmon and figured, eh, why not? Didn’t think much of it. But it turned out stupid good.
