Smoked Whitefish Egg Scramble made with fluffy eggs, fresh herbs, and smoked whitefish. A protein-packed breakfast ready in minutes!
If you’re looking for a simple, protein-packed breakfast that feels a little elevated, this Smoked Whitefish Egg Scramble checks all the boxes. Made with fluffy eggs, fresh herbs, and smoky Great Lakes whitefish from Big O’ Smokehouse, it’s an easy, nourishing recipe that works just as well for busy weekday mornings as it does for a relaxed weekend brunch at home.
Because the whitefish is fully cooked and ready to use, it flakes effortlessly into the eggs and adds rich, savory flavor without overpowering the dish.

Finished with fresh dill, chives, and a squeeze of lemon, it’s a healthy, Michigan-inspired breakfast that proves simple ingredients can still feel special.

Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Warm butter or olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the eggs and let them sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until they sit. Using a rubber spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, cooking slowly and stirring occasionally until the eggs are set but still glossy.
- Gently fold in the smoked whitefish and cook for another 30-60 seconds just to warm the fish. Remove from heat and garnish to serve with fresh chives and dill plus a squeeze of fresh lemon. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper.

Cook them low and slow, stirring gently, and remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly glossy. They’ll finish cooking from residual heat!
Absolutely. Sautéed spinach, kale, mushrooms, or asparagus all pair nicely with smoked whitefish.
Smoked whitefish has a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a light smokiness. It’s not overly “fishy,” making it great for breakfast and brunch recipes.
