A steam omelet is a food recommended for dietary and baby food. It is introduced into the menu of children from one year old and for people with chronic gastrointestinal diseases: stomach ulcers, pancreatitis, gastritis. Indeed, in a steamed omelette, all the beneficial properties of eggs are preserved, and these are vitamins A, D, E, group B, lysine, arginine, lutein, aspartic and folic acid. In addition, the steam product does not contain toxins and carcinogens, calories and cholesterol. Thanks to this, the food is suitable for people with obesity and diseases of the cardiovascular system.
You can cook an omelet yourself, or supplement it with any products. For example, it is very tasty to put cheese chips, pumpkin puree, walnuts, raisins and other ingredients. In this recipe, I supplemented the omelet with prunes, which perfectly strengthens the immune system, which is especially important in winter and autumn. You can cook an omelet in boiled water, milk or sour cream. The first option is suitable for those who suffer from milk protein intolerance. And if you follow a strict protein diet, then cook an omelet with only proteins and water.

Steamed prune omelette
1. Beat eggs into a clean, dry bowl and add a pinch of salt.
2. Beat the eggs with a whisk until the white and yolk are combined into a homogeneous mass.
3. Pour sour cream into the egg mixture. If you don't have it, you can simply add drinking water or add mayonnaise for a more filling breakfast. Stir the ingredients to distribute them evenly.
4. Wash the prunes, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into slices.
5. Add the prune pieces to the egg mass and stir.
6. Pour the mixture into a small bowl in which to cook the omelet. Place this bowl in an iron sieve and place it on a pot filled with water. But the water must be poured so much that it does not touch the bottom of the sieve. That is, there should be a small distance between the water and the sieve, in which steam will collect.
7. Place such a structure on the stove and turn on a high heat. When the water boils and boils strongly, close the sieve with a lid to create a steam effect, thanks to which the food will be prepared.
8. Reduce heat to minimum and steam for 10-12 minutes.
9. After removing the omelet from the mold, cut some more prunes and sprinkle them on the dish. Serve warm immediately after cooking.
