Smoked Salmon Omelet with Feta and Beet Relish

This scrumptious little number is a brunch, breakfast, or in my case actually, a dinner recipe, for Sunny Side Up! our IHCC week's theme, taken from Curtis Stone's cookbook,  Good Food, Good Life.  And it is.  Good  food that is.  Bob is usually only around for breakfast on Sundays, a bit late for this posting, so rather than do it all up just for myself, it was a lovely dinner for two.



I cut the recipe in half for us, amazingly my only change and made one omelet, serving a larger portion to the big guy.  We had slices of my fresh baked bread on the side.  It's fun to have breakfast for dinner sometimes.


The beet relish with its chives and dill made a splendid color and taste contrast to all the unctuousness of smoked salmon, butter and cheese.  A perfect combination, especially with a nice glass of  New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  And especially cool is the remaining pickle, which will be a good side for all sorts of things coming up.

Be sure to visit the IHCC (I Heart Cooking Clubs) site for lots of terrific breakfast/brunch ideas.  Also linking this with Beth Fish Reads for her Weekend Cooking.  Check it out!

What a good flavor combo, salmon and feta. The beet relish is pretty and I know it tasted great with that meal. We often do breakfast for dinner too.

Oh wow. I love everything about this meal. I'm a big beet fan. I really need to give the Curtis Stone book I bought a try. :)

Looks like we both were loving the smoked salmon this week! ;-) What a tasty omelette--I love the idea of the beet and feta relish pairing too.

I probably eat traditional breakfasts like this more for dinner than I do at breakfast time--I could happily enjoy this any time of day.

I;m going to do a smoked salmon omelette for lunch - not sure about pairing it with the beet though. Cheers from Carole's Chatter!

Wow! That looks and sounds delicious, and I don't even like beets! Beet relish might be the way to go to get me to like beets...

Those ingredients go so well together but I would never have thought to combine them in an omelette - it sounds just delicious!
