How to understand that a dish is ready
- The top is no longer glistening with raw egg mass.
- The cabbage is soft, without hard raw strips.

- Mistake 2: cook it over high heat – the bottom will burn, and the top will remain raw.
- Mistake 3: stew the cabbage until eggs – the pleasant texture will disappear.
Recipe options
- Serve as an independent breakfast.
- Add a slice of salted fish on the side.
- Serve with dry bread.

FAQ
Can it be prepared in advance?
It is possible, but the best texture is still in a fresh omelette.
What can replace butter?
The best substitute is ghee. It also gives a mild taste.
What to do if the omelet is watery?
Most often the reason is that the cabbage was not prepared enough or the fire was too strong. It is better to stew the cabbage a little before pouring in the eggs.
Author’s Tip
You don’t need to hurry with simple egg dishes. I would not try to fry an omelet “for color” on high heat. Slow cooking under the lid gives exactly the soft, homemade result that makes this recipe worth loving.
This omelette is good precisely because of its softness. Young cabbage after a short stew loses its sharpness, becomes tender and almost imperceptibly enters the egg base. Because of this, the dish is suitable even for those who usually do not like vegetables very much. The recipe is short, but the little things here decide everything: the cabbage should be thinly sliced, not overcooked, the eggs should not be beaten too aggressively, and the omelet itself should be cooked over low heat. As a result, you get a light breakfast or dinner without heaviness, and if you serve a little salted fish next to it, the taste becomes even more pronounced.
Ingredients
- young cabbage – 100 g
- eggs – 2 pcs.
- milk – 50 ml
- butter – 10 g
- salt – to taste
What can be replaced
- Butter can be replaced with ghee.
- The amount of milk can be slightly reduced if you want a denser omelette.
- It is better not to replace young cabbage with old, because it takes longer to cook and tastes rougher.
Preparation before the start
- Finely chop the cabbage so that it softens quickly.
- Prepare the eggs, milk and salt in advance.
- The frying pan must have a lid.
How to cook (step by step)
- Melt the butter in a pan, lay out the finely chopped cabbage and fry it briefly. Then add a little water, cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes so that the cabbage becomes soft but does not lose its shape.
- Separately beat the eggs with milk and salt. It is not necessary to bring the mass to a foam – just combine the ingredients well.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cabbage, cover and cook over low heat until tender. It is the gentle heating that gives a delicate structure without a burnt bottom.
- Remove from the heat when the top has already set and the middle does not look raw. If desired, serve with a slice of salted fish.
