Smoked Fish, Mustard and Chive Omelette (gf)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
sea salt and ground pepper
knob of butter
100 grams smoked fish, skin and bones removed
2 tablespoons cream
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
pinch chilli flakes
chopped chives or parsley
Preheat the grill to its highest setting.
Whisk the eggs and mustard in a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a small non-stick sauté pan until foaming and pour in the eggs. Cook over a medium heat, pulling in the edges with a spatula so the raw egg runs into the gaps and cooks. Keep cooking until the egg is just set underneath but still soft on top.
Flake over the fish then drizzle with the cream, lemon zest, parmesan and chilli. Place under the grill for 2-3 minutes until golden and just set. Scatter over the chives or parsley and serve immediately. MAKES 1 OMELETTE
