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)
Directions
Step 1
Finely chop the parsley, cilantro, dill, and green onion. Mince the garlic clove.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy.
Step 3
Add the chopped herbs, minced garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to evenly coat the pan.
Step 5
Pour the egg and herb mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Transfer the omelette to a plate. Serve hot with plain yogurt and flatbread, if desired.
