Equipment

  • Medium bowl
  • Non-stick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs 224g
  • 4 oz smoked salmon 113g
  • 2 oz cream cheese 56g, softened
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 14g
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 6g
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese 28g
  • 1 tablespoon capers optional for garnish, 8.6g

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips and chop the chives finely. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with half of the chopped chives. Set aside.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the beaten eggs, tilting the pan to spread them evenly. Cook without stirring for about 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  • Dollop the cream cheese mixture and place the smoked salmon strips onto one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the same half.
  • Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, use a spatula to carefully fold it in half over the filling. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked to your liking.
  • Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with the remaining chives and capers (if using). Serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, omit the cheddar cheese and substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative. Feel free to add a handful of fresh spinach or arugula to the omelette for extra greens. Ensure your skillet is non-stick for the perfect omelette that slides right out of the pan. The omelette can also be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a quick and easy keto meal on the go.
