Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel the potatoes

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into small 1 cm dice. Set them aside.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    In the saucepan, bring 20 cl of water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and let them cook 8 min over medium heat. Drain and set aside.

  3. Prep the green beans

    Trim the 200 g of green beans and cut them into 3 cm pieces. Set aside.

  4. Cook the green beans

    In the same saucepan (no need to wash it), cook the green beans 5 min over high heat with a splash of water. Salt lightly. Drain and set aside.

    Tip · Serve with a green salad to round out the meal.
  5. Soften the onion

    In the skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook 2 min until it turns translucent.

  6. Add potatoes and green beans

    Stir the potatoes and green beans into the skillet. Mix well and let everything warm up 2 min over low heat.

  7. Beat the eggs

    In the bowl, beat the 6 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the mixture over the veggies in the skillet.

  8. Cook the omelet

    Let it cook 3 min over medium heat without touching it, until the edges are set. Flip the omelet using a plate and slide it back into the skillet to cook 2 min on the other side.

    Tip · For a really soft omelet, don't flip it too early: it should still be a little soft inside.

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!
