Total preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 2

Ingredients you will need:

- 4 fresh eggs
- 50 g cheese (cottage cheese, feta, or mozzarella, as preferred)
- 20 g smoked bacon or ham (optional, but adds extra flavor)
- 4 teaspoons of flour
- 1 large tomato, peeled
- A few fresh parsley leaves
- 20 ml oil (about 2-3 tablespoons)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon mushroom concentrate (optional, for a more intense flavor)

Step by step: Preparing a Cheese Calzone Omelette

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by preparing all the ingredients. Crack the eggs into two separate bowls, being careful not to include any shells. Add salt, pepper, and, if desired, mushroom concentrate for a deeper flavor.

2. Adding the flour: In each bowl, add 2 teaspoons of flour. This will give the omelette a firmer texture and help bind the ingredients. Use a whisk or a blender to mix well. The consistency should be slightly liquid but not too thin.

3. Heating the pan: In a non-stick skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Make sure the pan is well heated to prevent the omelette from sticking.

4. Cooking the omelette: Pour the mixture from one bowl into the skillet, making sure to distribute it evenly. Let the omelette cook. When the edges start to set, it’s the perfect time to add the filling.

5. Filling the omelette: On one half of the omelette, add the grated cheese, tomato slices, and, if desired, diced bacon or ham. These ingredients will add a special flavor and a pleasant contrast of textures.

6. Folding the omelette: Using a spatula, carefully fold the free side of the omelette over the filling, forming a semicircle. Let it cook for a minute, then flip the omelette to the other side, allowing it to brown for another minute.

7. Serving: Once the omelette is well cooked and has a golden color, remove it to a plate. Repeat these steps to prepare the second omelette.

8. Decorating: Garnish the plate with slices of fresh tomato and a few parsley leaves, adding a splash of color and freshness.

Practical tips for a perfect result:

- Ensure the eggs are fresh; they are key to a fluffy omelette.
- You can experiment with different types of cheese; mozzarella melts beautifully, while cottage cheese provides a creamy texture.
- If you don’t have bacon or ham on hand, try adding vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for a vegetarian version.
- If you like spicy flavors, add a few slices of hot pepper or a bit of paprika for an extra kick.

Nutritional information: One serving of Cheese Calzone Omelette contains approximately 350 calories, being an excellent source of protein due to the eggs and cheese. Additionally, the tomato provides antioxidants and vitamin C, while parsley adds vitamins and minerals.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use duck eggs instead of chicken eggs?

2. How can I make the omelette fluffier?
Add a little milk or water to the egg mixture to make it more airy.

3. Is this recipe suitable for vegans?
No, but you can explore versions with vegan eggs or tofu as a substitute.
