Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully beaten and fluffy.
Add the finely chopped onion, parsley, and ground cumin to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps of flour, and all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thick omelette.
Cook the omelette on medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and set.
Carefully flip the omelette using a large spatula or invert it onto a plate and slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side.
Cook the second side for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden and fully cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the omelette rest for 2 minutes before slicing it into wedges or squares for serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, alongside pita bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
