Pumpkin omelet is a very healthy breakfast. A vegetable addition to the dish is soft, tender and slightly sweet pumpkin pulp, which harmoniously decorates the wonderful taste of the omelet mixture. This food is suitable for baby and diet food. It is a great variety for breakfast, especially in the autumn season. You can cook such a dish in a multicooker, double boiler, airfryer or oven. But in the absence of all these kitchen "gadgets" you can make an omelet on a steam bath on the stove. The ingredients of the recipe remain unchanged. The resulting food is very tender, cute and appetizing with a delicate taste. Ingredients are given per serving. You can increase and decrease the volume of products in proportion to the desired amount.

Making a Steam Pumpkin Omelet
1. Carefully break the eggshells with a sharp knife and pour the contents into a deep container. Add sour cream and a pinch of salt. You can replace sour cream with any liquid: milk, water and even beer.
2. Beat the eggs with a whisk, blender or mixer for about 3-5 minutes until fluffy, homogeneous, smooth.
3. Peel the vegetable from the thick skin, wash and cut into slices about 1–1.5 cm in size. You can also grate the pumpkin on a coarse grater. Place it in the container in which you will cook the omelet. If the peel is difficult to cut, then several cuts can be made on the vegetable and placed for a few minutes and in the microwave. The rind will soften and be easy to remove.
Instead of pumpkin, you can use any berries and fruits of the season: strawberries, fresh peas, bell peppers, apples, etc.
4. Pour the omelette mixture over the pumpkin. Put the bowl in a colander, which is placed in a pot of water and close the lid. Place the structure on the fire and cook the omelet for about 7-10 minutes.
If you have a double boiler, you can use it to make an omelet. You can also make a steam omelet in the microwave. Put the same container in the appliance and cook at the highest power for about 5 minutes.
5. Serve immediately after cooking, while the pumpkin omelet is tender, airy and soft. It is not customary to cook it for future use.
