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.
