What food is featured in all Easter celebrations around the world? Yes, eggs. So this dish presents a little joke- eggs on top of eggs, a colorful harbinger of Spring! Tell us about your recipe. —LeBec Fin
Ingredients
-
1 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
-
2 large eggs
-
Pinch each Kosher Salt and Freshly ground pepper
-
3 Tablespoons gruyere cheese, grated
-
2-3 T sour cream or creme fraiche
-
1 ounce salmon caviar *
Directions
-
Heat your omelet pan and quickly melt the butter. Use your favorite method for making the omelet with 2 eggs and seasoning.
When the inside of the omelet is still a bit wet (the French call that "baveuse"), quickly spread a lengthwise strip of gruyere in the middle, and fold over the top of the omelet to melt the cheese and create a crescent. Slip onto a serving plate. Smear a swoosh of sour cream across the top, lengthwise, and top this with the salmon roe. Serve.
* Use a non-metallic spoon (plastic is fine) to scoop the salmon roe, or it will taste metallic.
