How to Make Danish Omelet

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet (approx. 25cm) over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced pork and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Pour off about half of the rendered pork fat, leaving some for flavor.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. There should be no lumps.
  5. In a larger bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  6. Gently pour the milk-flour mixture into the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
  8. Arrange the cooked pork and halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the egg mixture.
  9. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, then reduce heat to low. Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  10. Continue cooking for another 5-8 minutes, or until the omelet is mostly set but the top is still slightly moist. The center should not be runny.
  11. If you like a crispier bottom and slightly browned top, you can finish cooking under a preheated broiler for 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  12. Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve immediately with crusty bread.
