Ingredients
2large eggs
1teaspoonreduced-fat milk or water
⅛teaspoonground pepper, plus more for garnish
Pinch of salt
1teaspoonbutter
2tablespoonschopped smoked salmon
1tablespooncream cheese, softened, or crumbled feta
1tablespoonfinely chopped red onion
1 ½teaspoonschopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
Directions
Whisk 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon milk (or water), 1/8 teaspoon pepper and pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, tilting the pan to make sure the entire bottom is coated. Add the egg mixture and cook for 1 minute without stirring. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salmon, 1 tablespoon cheese, 1 tablespoon onion and 1 1/2 teaspoons dill over one half of the eggs. Cook for 1 minute. Using a flexible spatula, lift the bare side to let raw egg from the middle flow underneath; you may need to tilt the pan slightly. Continue lifting in different spots until there’s almost no raw egg on top. Cook 2 minutes more.
Using the spatula, flip the bare side over the filling, folding the omelet in half, and cook for 1 minute. (If the eggs are starting to brown, lower the heat.) Carefully flip the omelet over and cook 1 minute more. Serve immediately, garnished with more dill and pepper, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
There’s nothing quite like a freshly made omelet—it only takes 15 minutes. However, you can make it ahead of time if you’d like. Just eat it within 3 to 4 days and only reheat it once, or the omelet will become rubbery. It’s best to warm it up in a microwave.
You can use whatever coloreggyou want. When it comes to eggs, the only differences are color and price. Most white eggs are from white chickens with matching earlobes and cost less than brown eggs because their feed is cheaper. Brown eggs are from chickens with red feathers and matching earlobes, requiring different feed than white chickens.
Absolutely. Experiment with your favorite herbs. You can easily substitute the fresh dill in this recipe for fresh thyme, parsley, cilantro, rosemary, basil or tarragon. If you want dried herbs instead, remember that you will use far less dried than fresh. The rule is to use one-third the amount of fresh, so for this recipe, that would be 1/2 teaspoon dried.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
