Danish omelet (Æggekage)

(Danish omelet)

Æggekage is a traditional egg-based dish that resembles an omelet or a thick pancake. It consists of a mixture of lightly beaten eggs, milk, and flour, which is poured in a skillet and topped with various condiments. The dish is usually finished in the oven until the top is completely set and a light golden crust appears on the edges.


Traditional toppings include slices of fried bacon, tomatoes, and chopped chives, but it can also include a variety of other ingredients. Æggekage is usually served as a hearty breakfast or dinner and is commonly complemented with rye bread or boiled potatoes.


Occasionally, it is sliced and used as a topping on the famous Danish smørrebrød sandwiches.
