Steps:
- (Note: If using a nonstick skillet, skip this step.) To prepare a black steel skillet: Heat skillet over medium heat until it starts smoking. Spread salt in an even layer. Use several layers of paper towels to rub the salt into the skillet, releasing any impurities stuck to the bottom; be very careful, as the skillet is hot! When the bottom is smooth, turn off heat and discard salt. You have just created a clean, nonstick surface for the eggs-so you're ready to cook!
- Make clarified butter: In a small saucepan, melt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat and bring to a simmer, 5-7 minutes. As white foam collects on the surface, skim off with a small ladle or spoon and discard; these are the milk solids. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue skimming until the butter is clear. Pour the clarified butter through a cheesecloth-lined strainer to catch the smaller milk solids, and set aside. (Note: Clarified butter has a higher smoke point than regular butter, allowing for cooking at higher temperatures. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several months.) Cut smoked salmon into ¼-inch slices. Set aside. Crack eggs into a medium bowl. Add a few pinches of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Use a fork to whisk until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute.
- Heat the black steel skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon clarified butter and swirl to coat the bottom and partway up the sides. Pour the eggs into the hot skillet. Begin quickly and gently shaking the skillet, while also stirring the eggs vigorously with a fork (or a rubber spatula, if you're using a nonstick skillet). Use small circular movements to loosen the curds and lightly scramble. While scrambling, occasionally run the fork around the edge of the skillet, moving the cooked egg back into the center, 30-45 seconds. Switch to a heatproof rubber spatula; continue shaking the skillet, loosening the cooked egg from the edges, and lightly scrambling until the eggs are half curdled, about 20 more seconds. Tap the skillet on the stovetop several times to level the eggs. Turn heat to low. Working quickly, place salmon slices in an even layer across the center of the eggs. Use a zester to add about ½ teaspoon lemon zest over the salmon, followed by chopped chives.
- Tilting the skillet slightly away from yourself, begin rolling the omelette: First, loosen the edge closest to the handle, then roll it toward the middle. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and let it melt along the exterior of the omelette.When the omelette is half-rolled, run the spatula around the far edge to release the eggs from the skillet. Then tilt the skillet more sharply and tap it firmly on the stovetop to loosen the omelette. Bang on the handle with your free hand to help the far edge begin to roll up, and use the spatula as needed to fold it toward the center of the omelette. Holding the skillet over the plate, roll the omelette and gently flip it onto the plate, seam side down.
- If necessary, use your hands or a spatula to gently perfect the shape and tuck in any loose edges. Spread remaining ½ tablespoon butter across the top of the omelette. Garnish with a spoonful of caviar on top and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Whisk sour cream and mustard in small bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, 2 tablespoons water, chives and tarragon in medium bowl to blend. Season egg mixture with salt and pepper.
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of egg mixture and stir briefly. Let eggs begin to set at edges. Using spatula, lift edges and tilt pan, allowing uncooked portion to flow underneath. Cook until eggs are set but still moist, about 1 minute. Spread half of mustard mixture and half of salmon over half of omelet. Using spatula, fold unfilled portion over filling. Slide omelet out onto plate. Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture and fillings to make second omelet.

Steps:
- Place the smoked fish in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring slowly to the boil, then lower the heat and poach for 5 to 10 minutes (depending on thickness of fish fillet).
- Carefully remove from the water, and allow to cool.
- Remove the skin and bones and flake the flesh.
- Toss the haddock over a medium high heat with half the butter and 3 tablespoons of the cream.
- Seperate the eggs, beat the yolks and a tablespoon of the cream and season with salt and pepper. Whip the whites stiffly and fold into the yolks with the haddock and half the grated cheese.
- Melt the remaining butter in a large pan and while still foaming pour in the mixture; stir once or twice over a moderate heat then leave for about 1 minute for the bottom to brown.
- Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and cream slip the pan under a moderately hot griller (broiler) or into a hot oven to set the omelet. This will only take a few minutes.
- When lightly browned and puffed, serve at once.

Steps:
- Mix the milk with 600ml water, the bay leaves, onion and peppercorns in a large shallow pan and bring to the boil. Add the smoked haddock, lower the heat so the liquid is just gently simmering, and poach for about 4-5 mins, or until the fish is just cooked and flakes. Lift the fish out and onto a plate, and when cool enough to handle, break into large flakes, discarding any skin and bones.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Grease 2 x 4-hole Yorkshire pudding trays with the butter. Divide the eggs between each of the 8 holes and scatter each with the fish. Bake for 10-12 mins - they will be slightly un-set in the middle but will finish cooking under the grill.
- Heat the grill to high. Mix together the cream and Parmesan, spoon a little onto each omelette then grill until golden. Slide onto plates and serve sprinkled with chives, with salad and buttered toast alongside.
