Some recipes are all about comfort, and this one delivers exactly that. This egg calzone with smoked salmon is warm, rich and deeply satisfying, with a soft omelette folded around a savoury filling of tomato sauce, melting mozzarella and, of course, our smoked salmon. It is simple to make, naturally protein-rich, and ideal when you want something delicious that still feels balanced.
Although it is inspired by the shape of a calzone, this recipe is built around eggs rather than dough, which gives it a lighter feel while still keeping all the comfort of a filled, folded dish. Omelettes have long been appreciated for their versatility, and in recipes like this they become the perfect base for bold, generous fillings. Here you can find some tips to take your omelette to the next level.
In this version, the sweetness of the shallot and tomato sauce meets the creamy softness of mozzarella, while our Smokin’ Brothers smoked salmon tail cut brings depth, smokiness and a delicate savoury note that ties everything together. It is a great example of how a few simple ingredients can create a recipe that feels hearty, flavourful and a little different from the everyday.
The result is a comforting smoked salmon and egg recipe that works beautifully for lunch, a light dinner or even a high-protein brunch. Finished with fresh basil and an extra touch of smoked salmon on top, it is one of those dishes that looks inviting straight from the pan and tastes even better than it sounds.
Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients (Makes 1 calzone)
- 100g Smokin’ Brothers smoked salmon tail cut
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp double cream
- 1 shallot
- 100ml chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 125g mozzarella
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Turmeric, oregano and basil, optional
- 1 garlic clove
Method
1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly. Add the double cream, salt, black pepper and, if you like, a little turmeric. Mix well and set aside.
2. Finely chop the shallot and garlic. If you like, you can also add a little fresh oregano at this stage.
3. In a frying pan, gently cook the shallot, garlic and oregano with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the sauce becomes thick and full of flavour.
4. In a second pan, heat a little oil, pour in the egg mixture and cook the omelette on both sides until set.
5. Once ready, spoon the tomato sauce onto one half of the omelette, then add slices of mozzarella and the smoked salmon. Fold the omelette over itself like a calzone.
6. Serve with a few basil leaves, if you like, and finish with a few slices of smoked salmon on top for a fresh contrast against the warm filling inside.
Soft, rich and full of flavour, this egg calzone with smoked salmon, tomato and mozzarella is the kind of recipe that proves comfort food can still feel refined.
