Good to know

Low-fat quark in an omelette sounds unusual, but it makes this one wonderfully thick, fluffy and soft.

Swaps

Tomatoes → pepper (diced pepper brings even more bite and sweetness to this soft pan dish).

Cooking tips

Patience is the key to a good omelette. Cook it on a very low heat so the bottom doesn't burn while the top sets.

Storage

The omelette also tastes great cold as a topping on hearty wholegrain bread.
