An omelet is quick to make, and you can eat it for breakfast together with some bacon, or as a lunch together with a salad on the side. This recipe is for omelet with ham, cheese and arugula, but you can take whatever ingredients you have at home as filling. You can also do it without any filling at all, so-called plain omelet.
Baguette

This is a perfect and easy recipe for home made baguettes. They get soft on the inside and crispy on the outside, like real baguettes from the bakery. The dough need to rest for 10-12 hours before you can cook them.
Hazelnut pie
Hazelnut pie
This typical Alsatian homemade hazelnut pie has a thick and crusty pie bottom and needs to rest over the night to get the right consistence. This pie is a good idea as a dessert to end an Alsatian evening after some tarte flambées (which you can also find on this webpage).
