Frequently asked questions

Why is the egg separated when making this omelet?
The egg yolk is whisked with the milk, and the egg white is beaten stiff and gently folded in. That makes the omelet airy and light – which suits it well as invalid food.
How long does it take, and how should it be fried?
The omelet is done in about 10 minutes total. Melt the butter in the frying pan, pour in the batter and fry over low heat until the omelet takes on a nice pale yellow color.
What is it served with?
The omelet is rolled up, placed on a warm platter and served at once, with jam or sugar alongside.
How many servings does the recipe make?
It is meant for one serving: 1 egg, 1 teaspoon milk, 1 teaspoon butter and salt. The recipe appears in Henriette Schønberg Erken's "Stor kokebok" (1914), p. 667, under nursing and invalid food.
