Omelette

Name: Omelette
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 3 min
Total time: 8 min
Yield: 1
Cuisine: Romanian
Ingredients: 3 fresh eggs; 1 tbsp milk or sour cream (optional, for a creamier texture); 15 g butter or 1 tbsp sunflower oil; salt and black pepper to taste; 50 g crumbled telemea or grated curd cheese; 2 tbsp sour cream; 1 small tomato, diced; 30 g ham or sausage, diced; a few sprigs of spring onion or fresh parsley; a few slices of sautéed mushrooms
