Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 50 grams smoked salmon
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the onion thinly into rings or half-rings.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion to the skillet, season lightly with a pinch of salt, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Reduce heat if they begin to burn. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat, ensuring it coats the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan so the eggs spread evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the caramelized onions evenly over half of the omelet, followed by the smoked salmon and fresh dill.
Using a spatula, gently lift the other half of the omelet and fold it over the filling. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
Remove the omelet from the skillet and carefully slide it onto a plate. Garnish with an additional sprig of dill if desired.
