Servings
2 serves

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup fresh cauliflower or thawed frozen cauliflower florets, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar or Le Gruyère cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped

Instructions

Method:

  1. In a small bowl, gently beat eggs, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon water together. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a large slope-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add cauliflower and cook, stirring occasionally until heated through and dried, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

  2. Wipe out the skillet and set over medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil, swirling the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly. Pour in egg mixture. When bottom begins to set, stir gently with a rubber spatula for 1 minute. Lift edges of omelet and tilt to allow uncooked egg to run underneath. Cook until eggs are almost set, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle cauliflower, cheese and parsley down the middle of the omelet; fold the right third and then the left third over the filling to enclose. Cook until filling is hot and all egg is set, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Slide omelet onto a serving platter and cut in half.
