Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Prep the veggies

    Peel the 300 g of potatoes and cut them into thin 3 mm rounds. Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth, then slice them. Chop the parsley.

  2. Cook the potatoes

    Melt half the butter (7 g) in the skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, cover and cook them, stirring now and then, until tender.

    Tip · The rounds need to be thin and even, or some stay hard while others fall apart. Stir by scraping the bottom so they don't stick.
  3. Add the mushrooms

    Add the mushrooms to the potatoes, salt and pepper. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat until the mushroom liquid cooks off.

  4. Beat the eggs

    Crack the 4 eggs into the mixing bowl, add the parsley, salt and pepper and beat with a fork. Tip the cooked veggies into the eggs and stir.

  5. Cook the omelet

    Melt the rest of the butter (8 g) in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the mixture, spread it out and cook over low heat until the bottom is golden and the top almost set.

  6. Flip and finish

    Slide the omelet onto a plate, turn the skillet upside down over it, then flip it all back into the skillet. Keep cooking until the eggs are fully set in the middle.

    Tip · To flip easily, use a plate wider than the skillet and slide the omelet over in one confident move. Serve it with a green salad if you have 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!
