Ingredients
Reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons (none)
Coarse-grained Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon (none)
Large eggs
4 (beaten)
Water
2 tablespoons (none)
Fresh chives or green onion tops
2 tablespoons (finely chopped)
Fresh tarragon
1.5 tablespoons (minced (or 1 teaspoon dried))
Butter
2 teaspoons (none)
Smoked salmon
2 ounces (cut into strips)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat sour cream and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, chopped chives, and minced tarragon until fully blended. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and immediately stir briefly with a spatula.
4
Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set, about 1 minute. Gently lift the edges with the spatula and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
5
Continue to cook until the omelet is set but still moist, about 1 additional minute. Spread half of the mustard mixture over one half of the omelet, and top with half of the smoked salmon strips.
6
Carefully fold the unfilled half of the omelet over the filling, then use the spatula to slide the completed omelet onto a plate.
7
Repeat the process with the remaining butter, egg mixture, mustard mixture, and smoked salmon to create the second omelet. Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
