Holiday Breakfast - Eggs with Smoked Salmon and Capers

Family coming in from out of town for the holidays?   If you're going to have a house full of people and you're already planning to spend half the day in the kitchen cooking an early dinner, take a break for breakfast. 

This egg dish is very easy to prepare.   It's fancy enough to serve with champagne if you're making a brunch, and simple enough for a quick morning bite with hot coffee or tea. 

If you are planning on serving your main meal about two or three in the afternoon, this breakfast is perfect for those occasions.  It will keep your guests happy and full until dinner is ready.

Add in the smoked salmon and capers and give it a quick stir.
