• 1 lemon, halved

How to make Trout toast with soft scrambled eggs

1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add 3/4 tsp salt. Whisk until there are no streaks remaining.

2. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the foaming subsides, add 2 slices of bread and cook until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plates with the cooked side facing up.

3. Repeat with another 2 tbsp butter and the remaining 2 slices of bread. Season the toast with salt. Wipe out the frying pan and let it cool for 3 minutes.

4. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp butter in the reserved frying pan over medium-low heat. When the butter is foaming, add the egg mixture and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula in broad sweeping motions until some curds begin to form but the eggs are still runny, about 2 minutes.

5. Stir in the crème fraîche and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are barely set, about 1 minute.

6. Spoon the eggs over the toast and top with the trout. Finely grate the zest from one of the lemon halves over the trout, then squeeze the juice over the toast. Season with pepper and scatter the scallions and dill on top.

7. Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half into a medium bowl. Add the arugula and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

8. Mound the dressed arugula alongside the toasts for serving.
