There are mornings when I lack the patience for elaborate meals, yet I still want something filling. On cold days, it feels natural to use the homemade smoked sausages I have in the fridge. This omelet is one of those recipes I make instinctively, without much thought: a bit of oil, a few slices of sausage, two eggs, and breakfast is ready. If I also have some cold sauerkraut juice and a sprinkle of paprika at the end, I really don’t need anything else. Quick Info Total time: 10 minutes Preparation time: 2 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes Servings: 1 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: breakfast Ingredients 2 eggs smoked homemade sausage (enough for a few slices) a bit of oil Instructions 1. Slice the sausage thinly. If it’s very dry, you can cut it a bit finer. 2. Heat a pan and add a little oil, just enough to prevent the sausage from sticking. 3. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage slices and fry them on both sides until they start to brown and release some fat. 4. While the sausage is frying, beat the eggs with a fork, without any additional ingredients. 5. Pour the eggs over the sausage, covering the pan as evenly as possible. 6. Leave the omelet on the heat, uncovered, until the edges start to set. You can gently lift the edges with a spatula to check if it’s cooked underneath. 7. Carefully flip the omelet to the other side or let it cook on the top side, depending on your preference. I don’t always flip it; it depends on the texture I want. 8. Serve the omelet hot, straight from the pan. Why I Make This Recipe Often When I have good smoked sausage at home, this omelet is one of the first things that comes to mind. It’s very quick, I don’t dirty many dishes, and it really fills me up. For me, it’s a heartier option than a plain omelet. Tips and Variations Tips - Don’t use too much oil; the sausage is already fatty. - If your pan isn’t non-stick, be careful not to let the eggs stick. - The omelet is best eaten while it’s still warm. Substitutions - You can use other types of smoked sausage, but the texture and flavor won’t be exactly the same. - If you don’t have sausage, the recipe won’t be the same, but it can also work with leftover ham or other smoked meats, though it won’t be exactly the same recipe. Variations - If you want, you can add a pinch of pepper when beating the eggs, but I prefer to keep it simple. - Sometimes I add a few slices of hot pepper along with the sausage for those who like it spicy. Serving Ideas - Traditionally, it’s served with cold sauerkraut juice, either directly in the plate or in a separate glass. - A sprinkle of sweet paprika over the omelet before serving is all it really needs. - It can also be placed on a slice of fresh bread, but I like it simple, with sauerkraut juice on the side. Frequently Asked Questions Can I add salt to the eggs? I usually don’t add salt, as the homemade sausage is salty enough. If you really want to, just add a tiny bit. Can this omelet be made with unsmoked sausage? Yes, but it won’t have the same taste or flavor. It’s much simpler, practically a different recipe. Can I add onions or other vegetables? It’s not the classic recipe, but you can try. I make it simple, just like the recipe above. What’s the best pan for this recipe? A small non-stick pan is ideal, but I’ve also made it in regular pans. Nutritional Values Estimated for one serving (2 eggs and sausage): Calories: 350-450 kcal Protein: 22-24 g Fat: 28-32 g Carbohydrates: under 2 g Values can vary significantly depending on the type of sausage and how fatty it is. The omelet is filling and has plenty of macronutrients from the eggs and meat. Storage and Reheating I don’t recommend storing or reheating it. The sausage omelet is best fresh, straight from the pan. If there are leftovers, you can eat it cold, but the texture won’t be the same.

Preparation

In a pan, we heat the oil in which we fry the sausage on both sides, then we add the beaten eggs and fry them on both sides. The omelette is served hot with sauerkraut sprinkled with a little paprika... it's madness... and that's it!
