I´m telling you guys, this breakfast is AMAZING! It´s a flavour combination made in heaven! So let´s get straight into the recipe for my Omelette “Wrap” with Avocado and Smoked Salmon!
Avocado and salmon? Yes. Egg and smoked salmon? Yes. Cream cheese and salmon? Hell yes! And do you know what´s even better? Throwing all of these amazing flavours together!
I know, smoked salmon is an expensive good, especially if you are on a student budget. BUT all the other ingredients should be pretty staple ingredients you may already have in your fridge, and sometimes you can get the smoked salmon on special offer! This isn´t necessarily an every-day breakfast, but it´s certainly a lovely breakfast to treat yourself to on a Sunday!
How do you make this Omelette “Wrap” with Avocado and Smoked Salmon?
To make this healthy low-carb breakfast, you need to make a super-thin egg omelette, similar to a wrap or a pancake. For this, use a large frying pan and make sure you swirl around the beaten egg in the pan to ensure it is perfectly round and super thin! For the best results, use a frying pan that you can cover with a lid!
Whilst your omelette is cooking, you can prepare the toppings for this delicious Omelette “Wrap”. Slice your avocado, chop up the smoked salmon and some dill and get your cream cheese ready!
Once the omelette is done, simply pile the ingredients on top and you are ready to go! If you like the taste of dill, sprinkle some over the salmon to serve. I don´t know about you, but adding fresh dill to salmon just makes it taste 100 times better!
If you like, you can try rolling the omelette like you would a wrap, but I actually quite like it when it is kept flat!
A special breakfast, ready in 10 minutes, that is healthy and low-carb
I had this omelette “wrap” with avocado and smoked salmon a few times during my two-week low-carb challenge that I set myself in February 2020. When I was feeling down and having carbohydrate withdrawal symptoms, this delicious breakfast was a welcoming pick-me-up!
Not only is it quick to prepare, I´d say it shouldn´t take you more than 10-15 minutes to make, but it is also healthy. A breakfast very low in carbohydrates, but loaded with protein and lots of healthy fats from the avocado and smoked salmon.

Omelette “Wrap” with Avocado and Smoked Salmon | Low-carb Breakfast
Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, pepper, other spices (optional)
- 30g (one large spoonful) of full-fat cream cheese
- ½ ripe avocado
- 50g smoked salmon
- Fresh dill, chopped (optional but highly recommended)
Method:
- Start by heating a large, thick-based frying pan over a medium heat. Add a tiny bit of oil (I used spray-oil) to the pan – but not too much as you don´t want the bottom of your egg omelette to be greasy.
- In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a fork until fluffy and the whites and yolk are fully combined. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. If you like, you could add some additional seasoning such as chilli flakes or dried herbs.
- Once hot, pour the egg into the frying pan and swirl the mixture until it has formed a perfect circle and is very thin. Leave for about a minute, then cover the frying pan with a lid.
- In the meantime, finely slice half an avocado, the smoked salmon and chop up some fresh dill.
- Once the omelette looks as if it is almost fully cooked through, use a fish slicer to carefully turn it onto the other side. It should be fairly easy to lift and flip at this stage, if it isn´t, wait a bit longer before you flip it.
- Cook the omelette for another minute or two, to brown the other side.
- Once it is browned and cooked, transfer your omelette to a large plate. Spread over the cream cheese and pile on the avocado and salmon. Then sprinkle over some fresh dill to serve!
