Funšterc (egg omelette) is aSlovenian national dish also known asknapovsko sonce (coalminer's sun) orknapovska torta (coalminer's cake) or "šmorn". It is a traditional dish from theCentral Sava Valley. In the past it was especially popular amongcoal miners and their families due to its basic ingredient -egg. Egg belonged to non-standard dishes because of low living standard of the population. The omelette must have been thick and round, but also tender and puffy. It was yellow like the sun, which the coal miners couldn't see while working underground.[1] They took funšterc into coal pits and ate it on their break, but only at special days.
The dish is prepared by mixing whiteflour withwater, eggs andsalt. This mixture is then poured into a baking tin and baked.
