Jamie Oliver's Smoked Salmon and Rye Omelet

Jamie Oliver
This quick, protein-packed omelet is elevated with smoked salmon and crispy dark rye crumbles. An ideal way to start the day and keep you satisfied through the entire morning.

Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice dark rye or pumpernickel bread about 2 oz
  • olive oil
  • sprinkle black pepper
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 3 cups baby spinach
  • 2 oz smoked salmon
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 heaping tbsp cottage cheese
  • chives

Instructions
 

  • Place a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, finely crumble in the bread and spritz with olive oil. Add a sprinkle of black pepper and cook until crispy, while you whisk the eggs together in a bowl. Spoon out half of the crispy crumbs for garnish, leaving the rest in the pan.
  • Add the spinach to the pan, stir until wilted, then turn off the heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently swirl to cover the bottom - they'll cook in the residual heat of the pan. Tear in the salmon, finely grate on the lemon zest, sprinkle with the reserved crumbs and dollop with the cottage cheese.
  • Finely chop and sprinkle on the chives, then slide the omelet onto your plate and roll it up. Serve with a wedge of lemon.
