Eggcellent


By C:
I know, cheesy title, but I just couldn't help myself!

I finally was able to sleep in today, and woke up feeling very well rested. It is a relatively nice day today, but it feels like there could be some rain coming. With Queensland, you really never know! One minute it's bright and sunny, the next, torrential rain. I have even witnessed some hail going down in these parts!

The semi-gloomy days always make me crave comfort foods, and comforting today came in the form of a nice fluffy omelet.

I had bought some hot smoked salmon a couple days ago, so decided on my other ingredients around the salmon.

It was lovely.




Recipe:

2 large eggs
a splash of milk

a small piece of hot smoked salmon, flaked into small pieces
a small spoonful of capers (I stole a few from my roomie E!)
1 artichoke heart, torn into small pieces
1 tbsp or so of cream cheese
salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions:
1.Whisk the eggs and milk in a small bowl.
2. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
3. When the pan is hot, add the eggs.
4. Cook for 1 -2 min, scraping the bottom and allowing the runny egg to fill the gaps.
5. Sprinkle in capers, salmon, artichoke and salt and pepper.
6. Gently flip the omelet over when the top is almost set.
7. Place small knobs of cream cheese on one half of the omelet.
8. When the bottom is cooked, fold the omelet in half and slide onto your plate.
