Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin 3 mm slices. Seed the red bell pepper and cut it into small dice.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Heat the butter and olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, cover and cook, stirring now and then.

  3. Add the bell pepper

    Add the diced bell pepper to the potatoes, salt and pepper lightly. Keep cooking uncovered until the potatoes are tender when you poke them with a knife tip.

  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 6 eggs into the mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, then beat them with a fork. Add the warm potatoes and bell pepper to the eggs and stir.

    Tip · Let the veggies cool a bit before mixing them into the eggs, or the eggs start cooking too fast and the omelet turns out uneven.

  5. Cook the omelet

    Pour the mixture back into the hot skillet over low heat and let it set without stirring. When the bottom is golden and the top is almost set, flip the omelet using a flat plate.

    Tip · To flip the omelet without breaking it, slide it onto the flat plate, set the skillet upside down on top, then flip the whole thing in one confident move.

  6. Finish cooking

    Cook the other side until the omelet is fully set all the way through, with no runny egg. Slide it onto a plate and cut it in half.

  7. Serve with the lamb's lettuce

    Divide the 100 g of lamb's lettuce between two shallow bowls and set half an omelet next to each one.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. An omelet is best soft, fresh out of the pan: reheated, it turns rubbery. Make it the day you eat it, it's done in 5 minutes!
