Persian Style Baked Herb Omelet Recipes

Steps:

• In a large nonstick sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch ovenproof nonstick pan with nonstick spray.
• Add the green onions and garlic to the caramelized onion and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until the leaves begin to wilt, 2 minutes. Add the cilantro, parsley, chives, dill and pine nuts, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Transfer to the prepared pan and put in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the eggs and milk on low for about 30 seconds. Pour the eggs over the veggie mixture in the pan, return to the oven and bake until puffed, just set and lightly golden brown on top, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the omelet and let cool for 5 minutes on a baking rack. Transfer to a platter, slice into wedges and top with the yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add the red onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, about 15 minutes. Add the green onions and garlic and cook for 2 minutes longer. Stir in the spinach; cook until the leaves begin to wilt. Add the chives, cilantro, parsley and dill, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Take the skillet from the heat and stir in the pine nuts.
• Beat the eggs, milk and some pepper in a blender on low speed for about 30 seconds. Pour the eggs over the veggie mixture. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the omelette is just set and lightly golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a baking rack for 5 minutes, then place a large platter over the top of the skillet and flip the omelette onto the platter, bottom-side up. Slice into wedges and top with a dollop of yogurt if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil and sautee the garlic, and caramelize the onions. Add in the spring onions until just softened. 2. Add in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted. 3. Transfer vegetable mixture to a quiche or pie dish, and stir in the fresh herbs and nuts. 4. Beat eggs and milk in the blender on low for about 3 seconds, add a couple of pinches of Celtic sea salt and cracked pepper, and then pour over the vegetable and herb mixture. 5. Bake in the oven at 180C/325F for about half an hour, or until set and lightly browned on top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, shallow pan that can be used under the broiler.
• Add the leeks and fry them gently for about 5 minutes, until they are just beginning to soften.
• If using fresh spinach, add it to the pan containing the leeks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat, until spinach has just wilted.
• Beat the eggs with a whisk, in a large bowl.
• Add the leek and spinach mixture (or the leeks with the thawed frozen spinach), then stir in the scallions, with all the herbs and nuts.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the mixture into the pan and cover with a lid or foil.
• Cook over very gently heat for 25 minutes, or until set.
• Remove the lid and brown the top under a hot broiler.
• Serve cut into 8 wedges with a green salad, or serve cut into small bite sized pieces as an appetizer.
• Can be served hot or cold.
