Cook Time 10 minutes
Course Breakfast, Light Bite
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 shallot
  • 1 knob of ghee or you preferred cooking oil
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 2 TBSP milk
  • 1 TBSP dried dill
  • 1 TBSP dried chives
  • 1 bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1 bunch of fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 2 TBSP pecorino cheese
  • ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Begin by assembling all of your ingredients together.  You will need a medium sized cast iron skillet or a frying pan for this recipe.
  • Finely chop the shallots and add them to the skillet with a knob of ghee or your preferred cooking oil.  Cook the shallots over a medium heat for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk.
  • Add the milk, chopped parsley, coriander, dried dill, chives, grated ginger and the cumin, turmeric and sweet smoked paprika spices.  Give everything a good whisk to combine well.
  • Pour the mixture into the skillet and cook over a medium heat for 1 minute. After 1 minute, turn down the heat to a low setting and place a lid on the pan, allowing it too gently cook for 5-6 minutes until the mixture has almost fully set.
  • Transfer the skillet to the grill to brown the top of the omelette (this is only possible if you are using a heat proof skillet - if you are using a regular frying pan with a plastic handle - please skip this step).
  • Once the omelette is fully set, sprinkle with good quality sea salt flakes, ground black pepper and a generous shaving of pecorino cheese before serving.
