This was delicious Mike. Simply delicious. I love smoked salmon and eggs, and this lovely dish does not disappoint. The Gruyere cheese puts it over the top. It certainly does melt in your mouth. It was light and fluffy with great textures. Thank you for sharing a recipe that I will enjoy again and again. Made FYC Tag Game 2015.

This was a delicious omelet! I usually don't combine fish and cheese, but the salmon and Gruyere worked wonderfully together. Every forkful melted in my mouth. I had a bit of trouble folding one half of the omelet over the other half, so the end result didn't look all that impressive. It tasted far better than it appeared on my plate. I also added dill and thyme to give it an extra kick. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

What a wonderful breakfast! I love the combination of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon, so I was sure I'd love this as well. The eggs were fresh from my own chickens, and the beautiful golden yolks along with with the pink of the salmon made this as pretty as it was yummy. I made as written, but next time I think I'll add either some fresh dill or chives, as both are wonderful with eggs and salmon. I'd never have thought to pair Gruyere with salmon, but the combination worked beautifully- nutty flavors in the cheese with the richness of the fish.

Oh, YUM! So many wonderful flavors and textures at work here. I used an apple-smoked gruyere which added a delightful taste that, when blended with the smoked salmon, made for quite a wonderful omelet here. Thanks, Mikekey. Made for ZWT7, Mischief Makers.

What a luxuriously filling breakfast this this made for the DM and I just love all the textures from the silky softness of the egg to the sharpness and gooieness of the cheese (I used a mix of sharp cheddar and mozzarella) and that slight saltiness of the smoked salmon and served with crispy buttery wholemeal/wholegrain toast, heaven on a plate. Thank you Mikekey, made for Make My Recipe - Edition 14.
