Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 100g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon capers, drained
• Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted and bubbling, pour in the egg mixture.
3. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a minute until they begin to set around the edges. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
4. As the eggs continue to cook, place the smoked salmon slices evenly over one half of the omelet.
5. Dollop the cream cheese in small spoonfuls over the salmon, then sprinkle with chopped dill.
6. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings.
7. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cream cheese is warm and the eggs are fully set.
8. Gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate, garnish with capers and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.

Helpful Tips

• Beginners: Use low heat to ensure the eggs cook evenly and to avoid overcooking.
• Variants: Substitute the dill with chives for a milder flavor, or add some baby spinach for extra color and nutrition.

Storage Instructions

Although best enjoyed fresh, you can store the omelet in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have cream cheese, you can use mascarpone or ricotta as a substitute. Feel free to replace the smoked salmon with smoked trout or even thin slices of smoked mackerel.

Pairings

This omelet pairs beautifully with a simple green salad and a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice or a light champagne. For a complete brunch experience, serve with toasted baguette slices and a selection of fresh berries.
