The Art of Persian Baked Omelet: A Delicious and Healthy Dish
Now I'm gonna make a Persian baked omelet, we have our red onion going here so far now we're gonna add all this uh it's lots of green ingredients. So I'm gonna chop up our spinach. The one thing about spinach is when you buy fresh spinach and you cook it, it melts away to nothing. It's crazy, I mean, you can buy like you know this much spinach, and then it turns into this much spinach. It's unbelievable.
As we start cooking our omelet, I'm using a big array of herbs here. You can use whatever kind of herbs you want, but I wouldn't suggest rosemary because it's just such a strong herb. Get a lot of parsley going; lots of parsley in Persian food. This is what makes the dish so flavorful and aromatic. Now, let's add our chopped green onions, scallions, very healthy cuisine, very flavorful, but very healthy.
Next, I'm crushing up a little bit of garlic. Let's cook for a second, while it happens, I'm gonna chop up some of my herbs: cilantro, fresh dill parsley, and chives. You can see the big array of herbs here; you can use whatever kind of herbs you want. Now, let's throw our spinach in here, and you're going to see how this is gonna just kind of melt really quickly. That smells good, onions and garlic that one kind of onion, two red and green.
Now, we're not going to cook the fresh herbs very much; just kind of get them slightly warm so we want to retain the freshness of the herbs, just kind of mix them in there with the wilted spinach and the onions and garlic. Okay, let's take that off the heat, toss it a few pine nuts – if you don't have pine nuts, you could use things like walnuts or even almonds would work really nicely.
Next, we're going to blend our eggs with a little bit of milk. You can do this by hand for sure, but I just want to show you another technique; actually, it is going to whip in a little air into the eggs itself, so it might make the frittata or the baked Persian omelet a little bit lighter. Let's get a little bit of milk, and I like to put a little pepper into my eggs.
Now, let's pour our eggs over the herbs; give it a kind of quick stir just mix the herbs in there a little bit, make a little salt, and get it right into the oven at 350 degrees. It should take about 20 to 25 minutes until the egg is set and taken out of the pan.
You can make this omelet ahead of time, serve it family-style, and serve it at room temperature; that's perfect for entertaining. Now, let's take our omelette out of the oven, our Persian frittata. I want to make sure that this is going to come out nonstick pan like magic gorgeous.
Just let this sit for a minute, cut it out almost like a pie, and still a little bit warm; you can see it's steaming but also serve this room temperature with a little bit of yogurt. Love these eggs very simple flavor; the omelet has just cooked through so it's got that really good custard-like texture to it; lots of fresh herbs, really healthy.
