Preheat the oven to 180°C (top-bottom). Prepare a baking dish measuring about 20x25 cm or a baking pan of similar capacity. Wash and dry the dill thoroughly; separate the small leaves from the thicker stems. Cut the turkey ham into strips 1 cm wide.
Description
Baked omelet with napa cabbage, turkey ham, and dill is a hearty yet light breakfast dish with a distinctly homemade, winter character. It combines the crunch and freshness of sautéed napa cabbage with the tenderness of turkey ham slices and a velvety baked egg mixture enriched with buttermilk and fresh dill. The dish is inspired by the simplicity of Polish cuisine (using cabbage and dill) and adapted to a fit style — limited fat, high protein, and plenty of vegetables. Serve warm, cut into squares, with whole grain bread or a light pickled cucumber salad; it looks beautiful with dill leaves on top. Perfect for a winter breakfast or a light lunch.

Preparation steps
Preparation of ingredients
Frying cabbage
Heat a large skillet (preferably 24–28 cm) over medium heat. Pour in the rapeseed oil (15 g) and wait 30–45 seconds until it slightly warms up. Add the chopped napa cabbage (300 g) and sauté uncovered, stirring with a wooden spoon every 30 seconds, for 6–8 minutes until the leaves soften and slightly brown at the edges.
When the cabbage is soft, add the chopped turkey ham (200 g) to the pan and sauté together for 2–3 minutes, stirring — the ham should be lightly heated and partially browned, releasing its aroma. Season with salt (1 pinch) and black pepper (0.5 pinch). Transfer the contents of the pan to a plate and set aside to cool slightly.
Mixing the egg mixture
In a large bowl, crack all the eggs (360 g) one by one. Add the buttermilk (200 ml). Use a hand whisk or fork and vigorously beat the mixture for 1–2 minutes until it is smooth and slightly frothy. Add 2 pinches of salt and 0.5 pinch of pepper, and mix again.
Add the cooled cabbage with ham to the whipped mixture and gently mix with a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the chopped dill (the whole amount), and optionally crumbled white cheese (100 g) if you are using it. If you want a spicy touch, add some hot paprika (2 g). Check the taste and season with a little salt or pepper if needed.
Baking
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared, lightly greased baking dish. Smooth the surface with a silicone spatula. Place in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 25–30 minutes. After 20 minutes, check the color — the top should be lightly browned; a skewer inserted in the center should come out dry or with a few moist crumbs, which means the omelet is baked.
Cooling and Portioning
After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for 8–10 minutes so that the omelet firms up a bit and is easier to cut. Use a sharp knife or spatula to cut the omelet into 4 equal portions. On the plates, garnish with an additional portion of chopped dill.
Serving
Serve warm with a slice of whole grain bread or a light salad of pickled cucumbers and radishes. You can drizzle a bit of natural yogurt mixed with dill as a table sauce.
Cleaning and storage
Gather the used dishes: bowls, whisk, frying pan. Store any leftover omelet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place a piece in a preheated oven at 160°C for 8–10 minutes or heat in the microwave for 1–2 minutes on medium power.
Fun Fact
Chinese cabbage was popularized in Europe in the 19th-20th century and stores well in cool conditions, making it an ideal vegetable for winter dishes. Baked omelet is an easy alternative to scrambled eggs — it is more uniform and can be easily portioned.

Tips
Serve immediately after slightly cooling, sprinkled with fresh dill and optionally additional seeds (e.g., sesame) for texture. A light, sour addition (pickles) pairs well with the omelet to balance the creaminess of the mixture.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. For reheating, use the oven at 160°C (8–10 minutes) or the microwave (1–2 minutes). Do not freeze with a large amount of fresh dill — it loses its aroma and texture after thawing.
