This Smoked Salmon Omelette Recipe is straight from the brunchy gods themselves.
Okay- I’m just going to say it. This dish pretty much encompasses everything I ALWAYS want to eat. Eggs, salmon, herbs, and oh just you wait for it…. herby goat cheese. No you have not died and gone to heaven, this is just the brunch meal you have been waiting for. Now, let’s get down to business with with what this Smoked Salmon Omelette is made of, shall we?
I wanted to lay out what exactly goes into this smoked salmon omelette. Which coincidentally makes a very good photo op. Given the time of year, fresh herbs are abundant and are the perfect flavor to whip up into your eggs, the salmon and goat cheese are a flavor bomb, and with the added acidity from the capers. Yea, you are gonna wanna get down to business.
Don’t let the word “omelette” intimidate you.
I think people sometimes can shy away from making omelettes just because many times, it can turn into a scramble. But ask yourself this, if the worst thing that is going to happen to you when you attempt this smoked salmon omelette is that you end up with a smoked salmon scramble. I would say you’re a-okay to give it a shot. It is helpful however to have a pan that will help you out, click the photo below for a great omelette pan option that is fairly inexpensive from Amazon:
But First, how do you make an omelette?
- Beat your eggs in a bowl with a fork or whisk- I like to make sure it is completely uniform.
- Melt your butter in a frying pan over medium heat (you want your pan pre-heated)
- When your butter is melted add in beaten eggs. While eggs are cooking stir and shake the pan until some of the egg starts to cook. Use a rubber spatula to flatten, and swirl pan to allow uncooked eggs to fill in any holes in your omelette.
- Once it looks almost cooked (you want it a little under cooked) add desired fillings
- Let it cook for the amount of time it takes to reach desired doneness (again, I like mine a little under cooked)
- Either fold or roll your omelette with a rubber spatula and transfer to plate.
