Notes about this recipe

    Uses the book's "Can-do kraut" for sauerkraut.

    I didn’t like this very much. I felt like there were too many poppyseeds and it was a bit watery.

    This sounded interesting, but it didn't work for me--I think I didn't like the poppy. I did like the swiss cheese and kraut together, but maybe not with eggs.

    I already have home-fermented sauerkraut that I’ve canned, so I love Vivian’s creative ideas for using kraut. Who thinks about sauerkraut in an omelet? And yet, this is delicious! I used 4 eggs, making it a good size for 2, gruyere, and some Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel Sesame” seasoning sprinkled on top. My sauerkraut has caraway seeds and like Sheila S., I found myself thinking about corned beef or pastrami layered in this!

    This is a Swiss cheese & kraut omelet with a sprinkle of poppy seeds. I used 2 eggs instead of 3 and Jarlesberg instead of Swiss. Reading the recipe, I thought there should be some shreds of pastrami or something in there but like southerncooker, I found it surprisingly tasty as is.

    I used some of the Can-do kraut in this. After I started making it I realized I only had one slice of Swiss cheese so I used a little shredded mozzarella and provolone I had. It was surprisingly good.
