Savoury Omelette (herb omelette with onion)

About the dish

En luftig omelett i engelsk stil («savoury» = salt/pikant) fra bolken småretter i «Kogebog for skole og hjem». Løken brukes bare til å parfymere bollen, ikke til å spises – et diskret grep som gir aroma uten tyngde.

How to make it

1. 1

   Flavour the bowl

   Peel the onion and rub the bottom of a bowl or dish with its cut surface, so the mixture takes on a mild onion flavour.

2. 2

   Stir the yolks

   Put the egg yolks in the bowl and stir in salt, pepper and finely chopped parsley.

3. 3

   Fold in the whites

   Beat the egg whites stiff and gently fold them into the yolk mixture at the end.

4. 4

   Cook the omelette

   Melt the butter in the pan without browning it, pour in the mixture and stir just a little with a spoon. Cook over fairly low heat.

5. 5

   Roll it up

   As the omelette sets, loosen it around the edges and roll it up starting from the pan's handle. Serve at once.
