Ingredients

- 4-6 eggs (2-3 eggs per person)
- 1 bunch of green onions (or 1-2 old onions)
- 100 g cold cuts (sausage, salami, or chorizo)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1-2 tomatoes
- 2-3 small new potatoes
- A few olives (for decoration)
- A few sprigs of parsley and dill
- 50 ml oil (or 1-2 teaspoons of butter)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Step by step to perfection

1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by washing the new potatoes thoroughly and peeling them. Slice them very thinly, about 2-3 mm, for even cooking. Cut the green onions into rounds and the bell pepper into cubes. You can chop the cold cuts into small pieces for better integration into the omelette.

2. Cooking the vegetable mixture
In a large skillet, heat the oil (or butter) over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Then, add the potato slices, mixing well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Adding the ingredients
Once the potatoes are softened, add the red pepper and cold cuts. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking the mixture for another 5-8 minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated and the liquid has evaporated.

4. Preparing the eggs
In a bowl, crack 2-3 eggs for each person. Add a little salt and mix gently, but not too much, so that the yolks remain intact. This technique will give the omelette a richer texture.

5. Cooking the omelette
Add a portion of the vegetable mixture to the skillet and pour the eggs over it. Use a spatula to gently incorporate the mixture so that the eggs cook evenly. Wait a few minutes until the omelette is well set.

6. Finishing the omelette
When the omelette is almost ready, carefully break the last yolk on top for added creaminess. Use a plate upside down to flip the omelette. Repeat the process for each serving.

7. Serving
Garnish each omelette with slices of cucumber, tomatoes, and olives, sprinkled with fresh parsley and dill. This dish pairs perfectly with a fresh salad, bringing a wonderful contrast of textures and flavors.
