Omelette Roll with Ham and Caciotta Cheese

The omelette roll with ham and caciotta cheese is a tasty and fairly simple dish to prepare, excellent for a quick lunch or a rich appetizer. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 100 g of cooked ham (or raw if you prefer)
• 100 g of caciotta cheese (or another soft cheese of your choice)
• Salt, as needed
• Black pepper, as needed
• Extra virgin olive oil, as needed to grease the pan
• Aromatic herbs to taste (optional, such as parsley or basil)

Preparation

1. Start by beating the eggs in a large bowl, add salt and pepper to taste. If you wish, you can enrich the omelette with chopped aromatic herbs.
2. Heat a non-stick pan (large enough to make a thin omelette) with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the hot pan, then lower the flame and cover with a lid to allow for even cooking.
4. Once it is ready on one side, flip the omelette onto a plate and then slide back into the pan to cook the other side.
5. When the omelette is cooked on both sides, transfer it to a work surface and let it cool down slightly.
6. Spread thin slices of cooked ham and caciotta cheese over the entire surface of the omelette.
7. Gently roll up the omelette, using parchment paper if necessary, and wrap it tightly so it holds its shape.
8. You can leave the rolled omelette wrapped in the refrigerator for an hour before serving, so that it sets better.
9. When ready to serve, cut the roll into slices about one centimeter thick or according to your preference.

Curiosity: the omelette roll is a very versatile recipe that can be filled in many different ways: you can add grilled vegetables, pesto, a variety of cold cuts, or whatever you like. Moreover, it is a dish that can be prepared in advance and can become a life-saver for a dinner party or a picnic!

If you want to add an extra Italian touch, you might use raw ham and mozzarella as the filling, and perhaps add a few leaves of basil, for a clear reference to Mediterranean flavors.
