Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

8 eggs, lightly beaten
6 ounces feta cheese, mashed with a fork
6 scallions, finely sliced
Handful of chopped mint
Large handful of chopped flat-leaf parsley
White pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the rest of the ingredients, except the oil.

    Step 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, nonstick ovenproof frying pan. When it begins to sizzle, pour in the egg mixture. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until the bottom sets.

    Step 3

    Drizzle the remaining oil over the top of the omelette, and cook under the broiler for a few minutes, until lightly browned. Serve it cut in wedges like a cake.

    Step 4

    Drop small amounts of the egg mixture in batches—by the half ladle—in a nonstick frying pan filmed with oil and turn them over as soon as the bottoms become detached.
