Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams smoked fish (such as smoked salmon or mackerel)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 piece lemon wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside. Flake the smoked fish into small pieces, discarding any skin or bones.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Let it melt and spread evenly across the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure the eggs cover the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom has just set but the top is still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the flaked smoked fish and chopped chives over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelet is fully set but still soft and fluffy.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with a lemon wedge on the side. Serve immediately.
