I'm a bright and citrusy omelette, filled with the sweetness of orange and lemon zest, and the freshness of chives. The tang of citrus juice and the richness of eggs make me a delicious and uplifting breakfast dish
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup mixed citrus juice (orange, lemon, grapefruit)
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, for garnish
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or parmesan), optional
Method
- 1In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined, about 30 seconds.
- 2Heat the butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted, then tilt the pan to ensure the butter covers the entire surface.
- 3Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook for about 2 minutes, until the edges start to set.
- 4Pour the mixed citrus juice over the eggs, then sprinkle the grated orange and lemon zest on top.
- 5Use a spatula to gently fold the omelette in thirds, cooking for another minute, until the eggs are almost set and the cheese is melted, if using.
- 6Slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a plate and garnish with chopped chives.
- 7Let it rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute before serving, allowing the eggs to finish cooking and the flavors to meld together.
