Background
In middle Europe braised/sautรฉed cabbage is a staple food, particularly during the winter. This German-style black forest ham and cabbage omelette is perfect for a weekend brunch or midweek lunch. You can add some smoked grated cheese to the recipe if youโd like.
Ingredients
- ยฝ white or pointed cabbage
- 1 onion
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp caraway seeds
- Honey to taste
- 6 eggs
- 6 slices of black forest ham
- Salt and pepper
- Smoked cheese (optional)
Instructions
- First make the sautรฉed cabbage. Thinly slice the onion and cabbage.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, then sautรฉ the onion for 5 minutes. Add the caraway seeds, stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the cabbage and apple cider vinegar. Put the lid on and sautรฉ for 10-15 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a drop of water if itโs too dry. When the cabbage has softened, add some honey to your liking and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a drop of oil in an other, flat frying pan (I like using pancake pans for omelettes).
- Beat 3 eggs with 3 pinches of salt in a small bowl. When the frying pan is hot, pour in the mixture, letting it spread out evenly. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes.
- When the surface is no longer runny, lay 3 slices of ham on one half of the omelette, then spoon some of the cabbage on top.
- If youโre using cheese, scatter some on the other half of the omelette. Cook for a few seconds, then fold the cheesy or empty half over the stuffed half with a spatula, then press down slightly. Cook for a minute or so, then slide it onto a plate.
- Repeat with the leftover eggs, ham and cabbage.
- Serve warm with crusty bread on the side.
