Start your day with a flavorful Vietnamese-style omelette, filled with the pungency of garlic and the oniony taste of chives, all wrapped up in a delicate egg mixture.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, at room temperature, whisked until lightly frothy
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup chopped chives, plus extra for garnish
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Method
- 1Heat coconut oil in a 6-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 2Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 3Pour in the whisked eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- 4Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed and continue to cook, about 1 minute more.
- 5Use a heat-resistant spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette and allow the uncooked egg to flow beneath.
- 6Use the spatula to carefully fold the omelette in half and cook for another minute, until the eggs are nearly set.
- 7Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.
