Ingredients

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces smoked salmon, slivered (about ¼ cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 leek (white part and 1-inch green), well rinsed, dried, and coarsely chopped (about ½ cup)
¼ teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
3 tablespoons crumbled chèvre

Instructions

Preheat the broiler.
Beat the eggs, crème fraîche, and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the smoked salmon.
In a 10-inch flameproof skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When it has stopped foaming, stir in the leek and caraway. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are golden and soft, about 2-3 minutes. Remove half the leeks with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and stir in the egg mixture. Cook just until the bottom is set; the top should still be wet, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with the chèvre and reserved leeks.
Place the skillet under the broiler, and cook until the eggs are set and the cheese is slightly melted, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
