Smoked Salmon Ricotta Scramble

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Mediterranean Diet!

I’m graduating from medical school tomorrowwwwwww!!! If you don’t already, follow me on instagram and/or facebook for snippets of my life, since I likely will not be writing about my actual graduation for…probably at least a week (but hopefully sometime before residency starts…).

A Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating more plant-based foods, limited red meat, replacing butter with healthy fats (e.g. olive oil), and using herbs + spices instead of salt, so I figured this one would fit the bill!

Remember my review of the Malibu Farm Cookbook? I’ve been thinking about the Smoked Salmon Ricotta Scramble in there ever since, so this is based off of their recipe! As per usual, I threw in the ingredients I knew we’d love.

We used 2 duck eggs, 2 chicken eggs, and 2 guinea eggs (these are super small), but feel free to use whatever type of eggs you have! We served this with a side of guacamole, and it made for an amazing brunch! :] The ricotta makes the eggs super fluffy!

Linda said she’d gladly take this any day over some swanky fancy-schmancy restaurant. :] We enjoyed this out on the patio!
