Tasty Omelette with Mozzarella and Oregano

I will be happy to help you prepare a tasty omelette with mozzarella and oregano. This simple and flavorful dish is an Italian twist on a classic French omelette. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 mozzarella (about 125g)
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• Dried oregano to taste
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or butter for cooking

Preparation

1. Start by cutting the mozzarella into small cubes to ensure it melts easily during cooking.
2. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well with a pinch of salt and pepper and the tablespoon of milk. This will help make the omelette fluffier.
3. Add the cubes of mozzarella and a generous sprinkle of dried oregano to the beaten eggs and gently mix to distribute the cheese and oregano evenly.
4. Heat the extra virgin olive oil or butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, pour the egg, mozzarella, and oregano mixture into the pan.
5. Cook the omelette without stirring until the edges start to peel away easily from the pan and the bottom has lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
6. With the help of a spatula, gently fold half of the omelette over the other half, giving it the shape of a crescent.
7. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the mozzarella inside to completely melt.
8. Transfer the omelette to a serving plate and serve immediately.

Curiosity

The omelette is an extremely versatile dish that has variations in many national cuisines. The Italian version often includes ingredients like mozzarella and oregano, which add a distinctive Mediterranean flavor. Oregano, in particular, is an aromatic plant that plays an important role in Italian cuisine, used in both hot and cold dishes.
