OMELETTE
- 3 eggs
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 20 g butter
- finely chopped chives for garnish
HAM AND CHEESE FILLING
- 30 g ham
- 30 g Cheddar, Emmental or Gouda cheese
MUSHROOM FILLING
- 2 medium mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon softened butter
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
RED PEPPER FILLING

OMELETTE INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, add 1 tablespoon of water, and whisk the mixture with a fork.
- 2Melt the butter in a pan over low heat. It must not brown. Once the butter starts to foam slightly, pour in the egg mixture.
- 3Using a flat wooden spoon, push the mixture from the sides of the pan towards its center. Once the mixture no longer spreads across the pan, but remains runny on the surface, you can evenly spread the pre-prepared filling over the developing omelette.
- 4Using a wooden spoon, fold the omelette in half. At the fold, gently press the omelette with the spoon towards the pan and simultaneously towards the edge of the pan, and let it cook for 10–15 seconds. Transfer the finished omelette to a plate, sprinkle with chives, and serve immediately.
HAM AND CHEESE FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Finely chop the ham and cheese.
MUSHROOM FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Remove the stems from the mushrooms and slice the caps thinly. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.
RED PEPPER FILLING INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Remove seeds from the bell pepper and finely chop it. Cut out the tough core from the tomato, remove the seeds, and finely chop the flesh.
Tip
Prepare the omelette slowly over low heat. This way it will remain tender and fluffy.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
