Omelette with fleas

To prepare a delicious and hearty dish that can be served as breakfast or a filling snack, we need a few simple yet flavorful ingredients. The recipe we will detail is based on eggs, cold cuts, cheese, and polenta, ingredients that combine perfectly to create a rich and aromatic omelet.

We start by cracking the eggs into a large bowl. It is important to use fresh eggs, as they will influence both the taste and texture of the final dish. Use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until well combined. If desired, you can add a little milk or cream to make the mixture creamier, but this step is optional.

Next, we move on to preparing the other ingredients. Choose quality cold cuts, such as ham, sausage, or salami, and cut them into strips or cubes, according to your preference. These will add a savory and filling note to our dish. Also, cheese is an essential ingredient in this recipe. You can use cottage cheese, feta cheese, or telemea cheese, depending on your personal taste. Cut the cheese into small cubes or, if you prefer, crumble it with a fork.

A surprise ingredient is polenta. It should be cold and well crumbled to integrate perfectly into the mixture. If you have leftover polenta from a previous meal, this is the perfect time to use it. Crumble it with a fork until you get small pieces, which you will add to the egg mixture.

Once all the ingredients are prepared, add the cold cuts, cheese, and polenta to the bowl with the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed. It is important to adjust the seasonings according to your preferences, but be careful not to overdo it, as the cold cuts may already be salty.

Now, it’s time to take care of the pan. Choose a non-stick skillet and add a little oil, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Let the oil heat over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, pour the mixture of eggs, cold cuts, cheese, and polenta into the pan. Let the dish fry over medium heat, so it doesn’t burn but cooks evenly.

As the omelet begins to set, you can cover it with a lid to help cook the eggs evenly. After a few minutes, check if the omelet is golden on the bottom. If it’s ready, you can flip it with a spatula or, if you prefer, leave it as is, and after a few minutes, you can fold it in half.

Once the omelet is ready, remove it from the pan and serve it warm, alongside a fresh salad or pickles, for a pleasant contrast of flavors. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also very versatile, as it can be adapted based on available ingredients and personal preferences. Enjoy your meal!
