Ingredients
  

For the Omelette
  • 2 slices Rye Bread Substitute with whole grain or gluten-free bread for a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Can be replaced with butter for a richer profile.
  • 4 large Free-range Eggs For a vegan twist, use chickpea flour mixed with water.
  • 1 cup Baby Spinach Swap with any leafy green like kale for variety.
  • 100 grams Smoked Salmon Canned tuna or mackerel make tasty alternatives.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Vinegar can be used in a pinch or omit if not desired.
  • 1/2 cup Cottage Cheese Greek yogurt can provide a similar texture if needed.
  • 1 tablespoon Chives Consider green onions or parsley as substitutes.

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by warming a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack the free-range eggs and whisk them until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set while the center remains slightly runny.
  4. Once the eggs have partially set, sprinkle the baby spinach, smoked salmon pieces, and dollops of cottage cheese evenly over the surface.
  5. After the fillings have been added, gently fold the omelette in half to create a pocket of delicious ingredients.
  6. Slide the omelette onto a warm plate and give it a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
