How to Make German Omelet (Bauernfruhstuck)
- 1Melt the butter in a 10 inch skillet; add potato and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and golden brown. Add ham (or bacon), and cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with parsley.
- 2Combine eggs, salt, pepper, and half-and-half in a large bowl, beating with a wire whisk until blended. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes or until almost set.
- 3Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, and tilt pan so that the uncooked portion flows underneath. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and cook until cheese melts. To serve, cut omelet into wedges.
