  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    How do you make an omelet with sausage? Gather your ingredients. The recipe was written for 4 servings, hence the 6 eggs — I made a smaller batch with two. A lean, boiled-style sausage like bologna tastes best, though hot dogs work too. The vegetables are optional — they're there for color and a little nutrition — and you can swap in any fresh herbs you like, such as dill, parsley, or green onion. Wash and dry the vegetables first.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Cut the sausage into small cubes. The smaller the dice, the prettier the omelet looks — but it's really not a big deal either way.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Dice the tomato as well.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    And the bell pepper. Using peppers of different colors makes it look even better.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until frothy.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Pour in the milk and add salt and pepper. Keep the saltiness of the sausage in mind so you don't overdo it. Whisk everything again until fully combined.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Stir the diced sausage and vegetables into the egg mixture. Mix well again.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Take a suitable skillet — the smaller its diameter, the taller and fluffier the omelet. Heat it over low heat and add the vegetable oil, letting it warm up a bit. Pour in the egg mixture.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Cook the omelet for about 5 minutes over low heat, then cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat down to its lowest setting.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    After 10 minutes the fluffy omelet is done. The eggs should be fully set — if the top is still runny, give it a little longer. Serve it right away; it's best hot, and like a soufflé it deflates quickly. Sprinkle with fresh herbs to serve.

  • I loved this way of making an omelet — it came out tender yet full of flavor. I used to fry the sausage and vegetables in the pan first and only then pour in the beaten eggs.
  • How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate dish. First, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean, and the yolk holds together — shiny, domed, and even.
  • Always wash eggs before using them, since harmful bacteria can linger even on a shell that looks clean. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
