Ingredients for Ari S Eggs And Onions And Salmon And Cream Cheese

  • 2 large eggs
  • Butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • Smoked Salmon
  • 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese
  • fresh chives (optional)

How to Make Ari S Eggs And Onions And Salmon And Cream Cheese

  1. Crack 2 large eggs into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese and whisk until smooth and creamy. The mixture will resemble cottage cheese – that's perfectly fine!
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter or margarine in a small nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/4 cup finely chopped onion and cook until translucent and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour the egg and cream cheese mixture into the pan.
  6. As the eggs begin to set, gently pull the cooked edges towards the center a few times to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  7. Add 1/2 cup cooked, flaked salmon to one half of the omelet (if making an omelet; otherwise, distribute evenly).
  8. If making an omelet, gently fold the egg mixture in half.
  9. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked but still slightly moist.
  10. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate.
  11. Garnish with fresh chives (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
