Wortel Omelette met Peterselie (Carrot Omelette with Parsley)
This exotic Dutch omelette incorporates carrots and parsley for a bold, flavourful dish.
Ingredients for 1 person Omelette:
- 2 eggs
- 1 small carrot, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped fine
- ½ small shallot or onion, diced
- 50 ml milk or cream
- Butter or oil for frying
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
- Finely grate the carrots. If you prefer a softer carrot, steam or saute them for a few minutes until tender.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley and dice the shallot or onion.
- Whisk the eggs and cream briskly.
- Stir in the carrots, parsley and shallot, as well as the salt and pepper and any other herbs you would like.
- Heat the butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the mixture into the pan.
- When the eggs start to set, gently lift the edges with a spatula to let the runny egg flow underneath.
- Allow to cook until the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set.
- Slide onto a plate and garnish with more parsley if you would like.
