Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1.1 lbs potatoes
- 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 7 oz mozzarella
- 3.5 oz speck
- 3.4 tbsp milk
- salt
- oil
Steps
First, clean and cut the potatoes into small cubes, put them in water, and leave them for 10 minutes.
In a pan, put a drizzle of oil and heat it up, then drain the potatoes and pour them into the pan, add a bit of salt, and cook on moderate heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now put the eggs in a container, beat them, and add the potatoes.
Cut the mozzarella and add it to the eggs, then the Parmesan, the speck (I chose speck in strips, but small cubes will work fine, or if you have slices, cut them into small pieces), the milk, and the salt.
Mix all the ingredients well. In the pan, put a little oil on the bottom, heat it up, and pour the mixture, flatten it with a spatula, cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes, gently rotating the pan every 5 minutes to distribute the heat evenly to the eggs.
After 15 minutes, the eggs will have solidified even on the surface, if not, wait a few more minutes, otherwise, it will spill when you turn it.
Flip the omelette and cook it for another 15 minutes, always covered and on low heat.
The omelette with potatoes, speck, and mozzarella is ready!! Transfer it to a serving plate, and it’s ready to be enjoyed. Bon appétit!
Storage
You can store the omelette at room temperature until the next day, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
