How to Make Menhaden Turkish Omelette

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk 4 large eggs until light and frothy.
  2. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk again to combine.
  3. In a 10-inch non-stick frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion and 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers. Saute for 5-7 minutes, until softened but still slightly crisp.
  4. Gently stir in 1/2 cup of cooked and flaked menhaden (about 2-3 fillets).
  5. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables and menhaden. Cook for 3-4 minutes, undisturbed, until the edges begin to set.
  6. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  7. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
