Herbs and Vegetables
 2 cups fresh parsley, chopped
 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
 1 cup fresh mint, chopped
 1 onion, diced
 1 tomato, diced
Egg Mixture
 8 eggs
 1 tsp salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 1 tbsp olive oil
Preparation Steps
1

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Add salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.

2

Fold in the chopped parsley, cilantro, mint, diced onion, and tomato into the egg mixture, ensuring even distribution of the herbs and vegetables.

3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the herb and egg mixture into the skillet.

4

Cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the edges to set while gently lifting them with a spatula to let uncooked egg flow underneath.

5

Once the bottom is golden brown, cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, until the top is fully set.

6

Carefully slide the omelette onto a large plate and cut into wedges. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
