Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Crack the 3 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring no shell fragments are present.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed and the eggs are well-beaten with a consistent yellow color.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the entire surface is evenly coated.
- Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully pour the seasoned egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the surface.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom begins to set and the edges start to look firm.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath and cook.
- When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle the chopped fresh chives across one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the chives, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, then slide onto a plate, ensuring the omelette is golden and fully cooked.
- Serve immediately, garnishing with additional fresh chives if desired.
Tips
- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture and even distribution of spices.
- Use a non-stick skillet and medium heat to prevent burning and achieve that perfect golden color.
- Don't rush the cooking process - allow the eggs to set gradually for a tender, fluffy omelette.
- Fresh chives make a significant difference, so try to use them instead of dried herbs if possible.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a sprinkle of high-quality sea salt or a dash of smoked paprika.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature of your gourmet omelette.
