Ingredients
- 3 units large eggs
- 60 grams smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This will be used to finish the omelette.
Step 2
Separate the egg yolks and whites into two clean bowls.
Step 3
Whisk the egg yolks with the milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Chop the fresh tarragon finely and stir it into the yolk mixture.
Step 4
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Be careful not to overmix; the whites should hold their shape but remain smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolks using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Use a folding motion by cutting through the middle and sweeping around the sides until just combined.
Step 6
Heat a medium, ovenproof nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and melt the butter, coating the bottom and sides of the pan.
Step 7
Pour the souffled egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the bottom to set while the top remains slightly runny.
Step 8
Distribute the smoked salmon pieces evenly across one side of the omelette and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Step 9
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the top of the omelette is set and lightly golden.
Step 10
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelette in half over the filling. Slide it onto a serving plate and garnish with an extra sprig of tarragon, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant Souffled Smoked Salmon and Tarragon Omelette!
