OPEN-FACED SMOKED SALMON OMELET



Open-Faced Smoked Salmon Omelet image

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large eggs
2 tablespoons half-and-half or water
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small bits
2 ounces thinly sliced smoked nova salmon or lox, cut into 1-inch long thin strips
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 teaspoons drained small capers
4 lemon slices
Snippets of fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler and arrange the oven rack in the highest position.
  • Put the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk until frothy.
  • Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let sit until the bottom starts to cook. Using a rubber spatula, slowly push the cooked egg from 1 side of the skillet to the other, allowing the raw egg to reach the bottom and cook--this creates fluffiness and keeps the bottom from burning.
  • When the omelet is cooked on the bottom and the top is still runny, place the skillet just under the broiler with the oven door open and the handle sticking out, and broil until the omelet rises and browns lightly, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, flip the omelet in the skillet and cook briefly, to finish.)
  • Scatter the cream cheese and smoked salmon over the omelet; then sprinkle with the onion and capers. Broil again to warm the topping, about 30 seconds
  • Transfer the omelet to a cutting board, and cut into 4 triangles. Divide the omelets among plates and garnish with the lemon slices and dill.

Yield 8 to 10 servings (16 puffs)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces hot-smoked salmon
1/4 cup whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon roughly chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons roughly chopped chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for rolling the dough
One 8-ounce can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 pieces)
4 to 5 medium asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Put the smoked salmon in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon zest, dill, hot sauce, smoked paprika and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the chives. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles, following the perforations. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 2 thin triangles. Starting at the wide end of a triangle piece, spread 1 1/2 teaspoons of the smoked salmon mixture toward the tip. Place a piece of asparagus about 1/4 inch from the bottom of the dough's wide end, then roll up towards the tip. Place on the baking sheet with the tip of the roll-up flat on the baking sheet. Repeat with all the dough.
  • Lightly whisk the egg with 1/2 teaspoon water. Brush the egg wash over each puff, then sprinkle some of the remaining chives over each. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.

Provided by lazyme

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 teaspoons butter or 4 teaspoons margarine
8 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup soft chive & onion cream cheese
1 cup flaked smoked salmon
chopped fresh chives, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons of the butter in 8-inch omelet pan or skillet over medium-high heat until butter is hot and sizzling.
  • Pour half of the beaten eggs (about 1 cup) into pan.
  • As mixture begins to set at bottom and side, gently lift cooked portions with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom.
  • Avoid constant stirring.
  • Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the cream cheese in dollops evenly over omelet; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the salmon.
  • Tilt skillet and slip pancake turner under omelet to loosen.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Fold omelet in half; let stand 2 minutes.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Cut each omelet crosswise in half to serve; sprinkle with chives.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect omelet, use a well-seasoned skillet and cook over medium heat. This will help prevent the eggs from sticking and ensure that they cook evenly.
  • For a fluffy omelet, beat the eggs lightly with a fork or whisk. Avoid overbeating, as this will make the omelet tough.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the omelet just before it is finished cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include cheese, salsa, avocado, and sour cream.
  • For the lemon-dill cream cheese, use fresh dill for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use half the amount.
  • When grilling asparagus, be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the asparagus from sticking and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • To make the smoked salmon roses, use thinly sliced smoked salmon. If your smoked salmon is too thick, it will be difficult to roll into roses.

Conclusion:

This opened-faced omelet with lemon-dill cream cheese, smoked salmon, and grilled asparagus is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this omelet a try!
