How To Make A Smoked Salmon Omelette

Start your day with this protein-packed smoked salmon omelette, elevated with the tangy richness of homemade Greek yogurt and the subtle sharpness of freshly chopped garden chives. This elegant breakfast dish is rich in flavor, silky in texture, and loaded with nutrients to keep you full and focused all morning.

A Luxurious Breakfast That Feels Gourmet

What sets this omelette apart is the unexpected addition of yogurt—folded into the eggs or dolloped on top, it adds a velvety finish that balances the saltiness of smoked salmon beautifully. The fresh chives provide just the right amount of brightness and herbaceous bite.

Perfect Smoked Salmon Omelette Pairing: Sourdough

Serve with a thick, toasted slice of homemade sourdough or crusty artisan bread to turn this into a more filling brunch. Add avocado or a simple side salad for a complete meal.

Domestic Gourmet Tip 🍳

Enhance the color and flavor of your omelette by lightly greasing your skillet with Domestic Gourmet Organic Annatto Oil. It adds a golden hue and subtle earthiness that perfectly complements the smoked salmon and creamy yogurt.

Smoked Salmon Omelette

This rich and creamy smoked salmon omelette serves as a delicious breakfast or brunch item.

Prep Time 5 minutes mins

Cook Time 5 minutes mins

Total Time 10 minutes mins

Equipment

• 12 inch nonstick frying pan
• Mixing bowl
• Rubber spatula
• Whisk
• Sharp knife
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 3 Large organic eggs
• 2 tbsp organic heavy cream
• ½ tbsp fresh chives Note: Save some for garnishing
• 3 turns fresh cracked pepper Note: If you don't have a peppermill, use a pinch
• ½ tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbs homemade plain yogurt Note: If you don't have homemade, plain Greek yogurt will do
• 3 slices smoked salmon Roughly 2-3 oz, chopped

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, cream, pepper, and chives.
  
• In a 10 or 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat butter over medium heat.
• Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet and add the smoked salmon, spacing it evenly throughout. Add a few dollops of yogurt on one side of your omelette, it will evenly disperse when you fold it over.
  
• Cover with a lid and cook low and slow over medium heat until the underside is set and the omelette is appearing to be cooked half-way through.
• With a rubber spatula, fold in half and cover for another minute. You want your omelette to be soft and not brown or have crispy edges. The goal is creamy.
• Once your omelette has finished cooking, slide onto a plate and garnish with more chives, another dollop of yogurt and smoked salmon.

Pro tip:

• For a vibrant golden hue and rich, earthy flavor, lightly grease your skillet with Domestic Gourmet Organic Annatto Oil instead of using butter. It elevates the omelette and pairs beautifully with the smoked salmon and creamy yogurt.

Notes

How to include your child(ren):  Prep work can always be adapted in an age-appropriate way to allow your child(ren) to help.  They can break the eggs, whisk, measure, pour the ingredients, and either use a knife or use their hands to tear the chives and salmon.  Older children can practice using the spatula to fold the omelette; younger children can help watch the omelette, and together you can discuss when it is cooked and ready.  Let them finish by garnishing breakfast on their own!
