Smoked trout omelette (Recipe)

Serves 2

This recipe is a fancier take on your Sunday night omelette. A little bit of extra time on whipping the egg whites yields a much fluffier texture!

Ingredients

4 eggs

100g smoked trout

65g cottage cheese

1 small avocado

1 cup watercress 

1 cup rocket/ arugula 

2 tsp olive oil or butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven at a high temperature, on the grill setting.

Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.

With your beater of choice, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold to combine.

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan (approx. 20cm in size) over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook for 3 - 4 minutes or until the base is golden.

Place the pan under the grill and cook for 1 minute or until lightly golden. Top with the cottage cheese, smoked trout, avocado, watercress, rocket, salt and pepper to serve.
