  1. This was heavenly. Maybe that's an impartial opinion though, because I love smoked salmon in any way, shape or form. But this was great, especially with the caramelized onions. I know I bought fresh chives not too long ago, but dang if I could find them when preparing these omelets for breakfast this morning. So instead, I use my dried chives. It was fine, but I think fresh would have tasted and look better. Thanks, twissis. Made for your awesome win in the Football Pool. Yum!
     
  2. Very nice omelet. I'm not the best at the folding of omelets, but it was very tasty. Thanks for sharing, twissis. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

  4. Yummy! For 1 omelet, I used 1/2 of a small onion, which was perfect for me. The combination of the smoky fish, sweet caramelized onions, and eggs is wonderful. I used all butter, instead of oil with the onions. Made for ZWT9
     
  5. Really good omelet, especially the caramelized onions. I used less fat and more salmon.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
