Smoked Salmon Omelette
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.
