Nowadays, dozens of ways to cook it are known. You can consider one of them, which, more likely, resembles a casserole, since it contains the following products: 4 eggs, 3 small potatoes, ½ onion and half a pod of bell pepper, as well as a little ground pepper, 2 tablespoons of sour cream and salt. If desired, you can use greens. For example, take a bunch of spinach.
Preparing an omelet with vegetables as follows:
- Boil the potatoes. Then it must be cleaned and cut into slices or slices.
- Cut the pulp of pepper into slices, and peeled onions into half rings. After that, put the prepared products in a pan and fry them slightly in vegetable oil.

New rules
These days, it is generally accepted that omelettes should have a more complex composition. Meat products are also often added to it. For example, an omelet baked with vegetables is prepared using the following components: for 4 eggs - 2 tomatoes, ground pepper, 1 onion, half a bell pepper, a glass of fresh milk, 60 grams of flour, salt, as well as 150 grams of bacon, ham or any sausage.
Cooking sequence:
- Peel the onion.
- All products (vegetables and meat) are cut into cubes. From tomatoes, you can pre-squeeze the juice so that it does not interfere with baking.
- In a pan, lightly pass the onions, and then add the meat products to it.
- Fry them together, and then put them in a baking dish.
- Spread the remaining vegetables on top.
- Beat eggs with a regular whisk. Gradually introduce salt, flour, milk and pepper.
- Pour the prepared mass into the mold and put in the oven for half an hour.
The readiness of the product can be checked by piercing it with a match or any wooden stick. The baked mass will be quite dense and will not stick to the subject.
