Mediterranean Halloumi Omelette

20 min

The sizzle of crispy, golden halloumi cheese against the skillet is the hallmark of this Mediterranean-inspired breakfast omelette. As you fold the omelette, the creamy, whipped eggs envelop the salty cheese. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fragrant oregano.


Ingredients

  • 8 eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces halloumi cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sprig fresh oregano, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method

  1. 1In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until lightly frothy (2 minutes).
  2. 2Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chopped oregano.
  3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat (2 minutes).
  4. 4Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and lightly caramelized (5 minutes).
  5. 5Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  6. 6Add the sliced halloumi cheese to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy on the bottom (3 minutes).
  7. 7Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and cook, lifting the edges and tilting the skillet, until the eggs are almost set (2-3 minutes).
