Potato Skillet Omelet with Goat Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 russet potato (Peeled and shaved into thin ribbons)
• peppers (Sautéed; amount not specified)
• onions (Sautéed; amount not specified)
• prosciutto cotto (Ham; amount not specified)
• 3 eggs
• salt (In the egg mixture and additionally to taste)
• black pepper (In the egg mixture and additionally to taste)
• milk (Added to the eggs; amount not specified)
• butter (A bit, for the pan)
• olive oil (A bit, for the pan)
• goat cheese (Cut into a few pieces; amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Peel the russet potato and shave it into thin ribbons. The ribbons should be thin enough to cook quickly and form the omelet’s base.

2. 2

   Combine the sautéed peppers and onions, prosciutto cotto, three eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper to make the egg mixture.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet with a bit of butter and a bit of olive oil.

4. 4

   Arrange the potato ribbons in the skillet, overlapping them as much as possible. Do not try to make the arrangement too neat, because that will make it harder to flip. Flatten the potato layer.

5. 5

   Season the potato layer with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then let it crisp until the ends begin to take on color.

6. 6

   Flip the potato base and let the other side sizzle briefly. Season with a little more salt and black pepper.

7. 7

   Pour the egg mixture over the potato base and spread it out evenly.

8. 8

   Scatter the goat cheese over the top of the egg mixture.

9. 9

   Transfer the skillet to an oven. At home, use a 500°F oven; the source used a 600°F pizza oven. Cook until the top is set and the egg is cooked through without allowing the potato base to burn.

10. 10

    Remove the omelet from the skillet, keeping the crisp edges if desired, and serve. It can also be left to cool to room temperature and cut into small squares as a party snack.

Notes

The source does not provide exact amounts for the peppers, onions, prosciutto cotto, milk, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, or goat cheese, nor does it specify an exact oven-cooking time. Goat cheese may be replaced with another preferred cheese, such as Swiss or mozzarella. The creator said the omelet was especially enjoyable at room temperature, when the flavors became more pronounced.
