Beat the eggs with the cream and add salt and pepper to taste.
2 eggs, 2 tablespoons cream, salt and pepper
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
1 tablespoon butter
Pour the egg into the pan and stir a few times with a spatula. When the base starts to set, turn the pan once to cover the entire base.
After 20 seconds, hold the egg up with a spatula and let the not-yet-solidified egg run underneath.
When it is still just moist, sprinkle the salmon chips and chives on one-half of the omelette
3 tablespoons smoked salmon, 1 teaspoon chives
Put the lid on the pan for 30 seconds.
Now fold the part without topping over the salmon and let the omelette slide onto a plate.
NOTES
1. Omelette tip:
Fry an omelet on medium heat.
Do not let the omelet bake for too long; it should still be a little moist on the inside.
The cream makes the omelette airy and silky. You can also use milk or a vegetable instead of cream.
2. Variations
Spinach and Feta: Fry a handful of spinach with adhering water in oil for about 2 minutes. Mix the spinach with the feta and fill the omelet with it.
Mushrooms and parsley: Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and pepper and fry in butter until golden brown and done. Fill the omelette with the mushrooms and finely chopped parsley.
