Funlette – The Food Series
Our last but not least of The Food Series, as well as getting you ready for summer breakfast. Emily teaches us how to spice/or zhush up our morning eggs – The Meld Team
See what I did there? I replaced ‘Om’ with ‘fun’ because this is no ordinary omelette….it’s a fun-lette 🍳.
Feeds one cold belly
Ingredients:
- Two eggs
- Tiny splash of milk (1 tbsp)
- Two pinches of salt
- Pinch of Turmeric powder
- herbs of your choosing (I’m using fenugreek)
- Neutral flavoured cooking oil
Method:
- Heat a small non-stick pan with a glug of neutral oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan). While you’re waiting for it to heat up…
- Crack two eggs in a small bowl adding turmeric, milk and salt. Mix till everything is combined or until you lift your fork and the egg mixture runs smooth.
- Your pan should be hot. That means small wisps of smoke rising from the surface.
- This is the tricky part; add your egg mixture to the pan, wait six seconds (count out loud so I can hear you from my apartment), then using a plastic spatula slide one side of the fun-lette to the other side, continue this motion back-and-forth/side-to-side until you get ripples or folds. The top should be a little bit wet and the bottom set. If you like your omelette completely cooked cover with a lid.
- Slide gently onto a plate and top with a flurry of spice, sprinkle of flakey salt and herbs of your liking.
