2. First, bring water to a boil and salt it to taste. Add a bay leaf and add the dumplings. You can vary this omelet-with-dumplings recipe by frying the dumplings instead. In that case, put them on a skillet with hot oil while still frozen. Drain the boiled dumplings in a colander and pat them dry slightly.

5. Heat a little butter in a frying pan. Add the dumplings and, if desired, fry for a couple of minutes until a crust forms. Pour in the egg mixture and cover with a lid for a couple of minutes. Then sprinkle everything with grated cheese and cook until done. If desired, you can fold the homemade dumpling omelet in half to make an improvised envelope with melted cheese inside. Before serving, you can sprinkle the dish with extra fresh herbs and cheese.
