Gailtal Valley “Frigga“

Preparation

"Frigga" is a Carinthian pan-fried dish that enjoys the status of a national dish, especially in the Gailtal Valley. And everyone prepares the former woodcutter's fare a little differently, which is also part of its charm. Originally, the "cheese and bacon omelette" was prepared by woodcutters in a pan over an open campfire. The best ingredients are of course the regional quality products Gailtal Valley bacon PGI and Gailtal Valley alpine cheese PDO. 

Finely chop the onions. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onions in it. Dice the bacon, add and fry. The bacon must be nicely glazed. Add the cooked and sliced potatoes to the bacon. Grate the cheese and mix in. Season with salt and pepper. Beat the eggs and add them. Mix everything well, leave for 2-3 minutes and sprinkle with parsley.  

Remove from the cooker and serve with bread or a slice of polenta.

Bon Appetit!
