Pretzel sliders with omelette ⋆ with homemade pretzel rolls SOULFOOD.nl

Share this recipe:

Whenever I've been to Germany I go home with a good load of pretzels or brezels. You can find them there at any bakery. Pretzels are soft, white buns that are cooked first. This gives them a beautiful shiny layer (with some tasty, coarse salt grains on top!) and a special taste.

It is actually strange that the pretzels in the Netherlands are so difficult to find. Pretzels or brezels are normally made in the form of a large pretzel. This way you have extra crusts. Tasty, but also a bit tricky – because then you can't put anything on it as a topping.

That's why there are 'pretzel rolls'. Sandwiches that are cooked and baked in the same way as traditional pretzels, but just round. Tasty and convenient!

Crockery from Cornelia Servies

To make it completely festive, I served the pretzel sliders on the amazing tableware from the 'picnic' collection by Yvonne Ellen† This English brand produces beautiful (and sturdy!) tableware with drawings of animals in pastel colours.

You wouldn't know if you see the plates and cups like this, but this set is made of melamine and therefore very strong. Really ideal for a picnic!

We received the tableware as a gift from the Dutch webshop Cornelia Services† They specialize in these kinds of special plates, bowls and cups. In addition to the entire Yvonne Ellen collection, they also sell those beautiful porcelain teapots, sugar bowls and cake plates! – also tableware from Pip Studio and Greengate, among others.

Do you also like funny, colorful signs? Then take a look at the Cornelia Servies web store. In any case, we are very happy with this beautiful tableware in tropical, bright colors!

Pretzel or sandwich healthy

We made these pretzel sliders as healthy as a real sandwich: with tomato, cheese, ham and omelette. By the way, that omelette is made 'the French way'… very quickly! You beat the eggs and fry them in very thin layers for a minute or so.

Feel free to choose different toppings for the pretzel rolls. They are delicious with almost anything (even sweet things like jam!).

Preparation pretzel sliders with omelette

Mix the water with the yeast and let it sit together for a minute. Melt the butter over low heat and mix in the salt and sugar. Then mix the melted butter with the water.

Now add the flour and knead into a smooth dough. Is the dough too sticky? Then add some more flour. Is it too stiff? Then you can add some extra water.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth. Then place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour.

After an hour, knead the dough again. Then divide it into 10 equal pieces and roll them into balls. Then let it rise for another 30 minutes on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Meanwhile, heat the 2 liters of water until it boils. Add the baking soda to this. Now slide 2-3 balls of dough into the pan at a time and cook them in the soda water for about 30 seconds. Then place them back on the baking tray and preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Use a sharp knife to make an incision from left to right in the buns. Beat the egg yolk well and spread it over the top of the pretzel rolls. Finally sprinkle them with sea salt and bake them for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Meanwhile you can make the omelettes.

Beat the eggs together with the milk and salt in a large bowl. Also add the chopped chives.

Heat a little bit of olive oil in a hot frying pan and add one tablespoon of the beaten eggs. You should now have a very thin layer of egg, much like a pancake.

When the omelet is almost set, fold the edges inwards so that you get a square/rectangle about the size of the pretzel sliders.

When the bread rolls are done baking, cut them in half and top them with ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber and an omelette. A little mayonnaise or ketchup for the enthusiast enne… enjoy your meal!
