Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup plain yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 1 flatbread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Finely chop the parsley, cilantro, dill, and green onion. Mince the garlic clove.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy.
Add the chopped herbs, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to evenly coat the pan.
Pour the egg and herb mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Allow the omelette to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown. Reduce the heat to low if needed to avoid burning.
Gently flip the omelette using a spatula (or fold it in half if flipping is difficult). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the center is fully cooked.
Transfer the omelette to a plate. Serve hot with plain yogurt and flatbread, if desired.
