Comment préparer Middle Eastern Herb Omelette

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking.
  2. Remove coarse stems from 1 cup packed parsley, 1/2 cup packed dill, 1/2 cup packed cilantro, and chop finely with 1/4 cup chives, 1/2 cup chopped lettuce, and 1 cup spinach.
  3. Combine chopped herbs with 1 medium zucchini (diced), 1/2 cup chopped scallions, and 1/2 cup walnuts.
  4. In a small bowl, gently crush 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads with 2 teaspoons warm water. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, saffron liquid, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. Gently fold the egg mixture into the herb and vegetable mixture.
  7. **To bake:**
  8. Butter a shallow 8-inch baking dish. Pour the egg mixture into the dish.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the omelette is set and golden brown on top.
  10. **To cook on the stovetop:**
  11. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
