This classic Corsican omelette pairs fresh brocciu cheese with fragrant mint — the softness of the cheese and the brightness of the herb make for a wonderfully light and quick dish.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 200 g brocciu (or fresh ricotta)
- A small handful of fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Beat the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Crumble in the brocciu and stir in most of the chopped mint.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat and pour in the egg mixture.
- Cook gently, lifting the edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, until just set.
- Fold or roll and scatter with the remaining mint before serving.
The combination of soft cheese and mint’s cooling fragrance makes this an irresistibly simple dish.
