Brocciu Omelet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 100g brocciu cheese (or substitute with ricotta)
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 small garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until frothy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened and fragrant.
3. Crumble the brocciu cheese into the pan and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and use a spatula to spread them evenly over the cheese and onions.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the edges start to brown and the top is mostly set.
6. Using the spatula, gently fold the omelet in half to enclose the cheese and onions. Cook for another minute or so until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.
7. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.

Verdict:

This brocciu omelet is a simple and tasty way to enjoy the traditional Corsican cheese. The soft and creamy cheese pairs perfectly with the fluffy eggs and the flavor is enhanced by the sautéed onion and garlic. Serve with a fresh green salad for a light and satisfying lunch or dinner.

• Pair with a side of roasted potatoes or grilled vegetables for a complete meal
