Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 ounces smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Roughly chop the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside. If the cream cheese isn’t soft, allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier spreading.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, tilting the pan to ensure the entire surface is coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Scatter the smoked salmon and dollops of cream cheese over one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the fresh dill evenly over the filling.
Carefully fold the omelet in half to encase the filling. Let it cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the filling and fully set the eggs.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
