Equipment
- 1 cast-iron skillet small
- 1 bowl small
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 oz smoked salmon
- 1 tbsp. red onion minced
- 1 tsp. capers optional
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tomato medium, ripe, sliced for serving (optional)
- 1 tbsp. crème fraîche
- 2 tsp. butter
- 1 chive finely chopped, optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs and crème fraîche in a small bowl. The crème fraîche will not blend completely, but this is fine.
- Heat a small skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add the butter and make sure to coat the whole surface with it.
- Add the egg mixture. Tilt the skillet so that the eggs coat the entire surface. Cook over medium-high heat until the egg in the center of the skillet starts to solidify and the edges look slightly brown.
- Scatter the salmon, red onion, and capers, if using, over half of the omelet. Sprinkle with ground black pepper and cook for 20 to 30 seconds more. With a spatula, loosen the side of the omelet without the filling and fold it over the filled half. Continue cooking for another 10 to 20 seconds.
- Remove to a plate and garnish with sliced tomato, finely chopped chives, and more black pepper.
Notes
You can substitute plain yogurt, good quality cream, or cream cheese for the crème fraîche.
