Cooking tips

For a better flavor, sprinkle the omelet with grated cheese during the last few minutes. Just be sure to avoid wet cheeses, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of water in the pan.

To reduce cooking time, it's best to chop the pumpkin very finely; this will allow the flesh to soften more quickly. This reduces the risk of the pumpkin remaining hard and ruining the consistency of the omelet.
