I would give this a higher rating if the amount of milk is fixed. Like Zurie, I agree that this is way too much milk... The mixture would not hold together because it was too liquidy. Therefore, instead of serving it on bread like I had planned, we served it beside toast on a plate. It was yummy and I would make it again and cut the milk in half. Thanks for the recipe, I like smoked salmon and like to find recipes for it.

MADE FOR PAC 2011. Whenever this is on a breakfast menu, it is what I would order! I love cold-smoked salmon! So this is not a new or original recipe, but it made a very nice breakfast this morning! AskCy, my only problem is that I thought the milk was too much for 2 eggs. I used 2 overly large free-range eggs, and before I tipped the egg from the pan I noticed milky fluid collecting at the bottom. I'd suggest no more than 2 - 3 tablespoons. Otherwise nice, thanks, and I liked the fresh basil in there!

Delicious! I made this exactly as posted, except I chopped the salmon, rather than leaving it in slices. I also left out the salt, since the smoked salmon is salty enough. Made for Think Pink 2009 Tag Game.

I made this as an omelette for 2 using 3 large eggs, 100ml milk, 100 grams smoked salmon, 1 tablespoon chopped basil, pepper and 2 teaspoons butter. We each had with a slice of wholemeal wholegrain toast buttered. The DM and I have declared this is the best we have had and will be a breakfast treat in the future. Thank you AskCy, made for New Kids on the Block.
