An omelet is a morning classic made from beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, sometimes with a little milk or cream added. They love it in its pure form, adding some kind of filling to the “dough” (greens, vegetables, meat) or wrapping the additives in a ready-made omelet with an envelope. According to legend, the first classic omelette was prepared by a Viennese chef especially for the table of Emperor Franz Joseph I. The classic combination is half the volume of milk shell on one egg. And then there are ideas.
