PaprikaSpiced Eggplant Omelette

This omelette is a comforting dish that highlights the earthy flavors of eggplant combined with the smokiness of paprika. It’s perfect for a satisfying breakfast or a light lunch.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 small eggplant, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika, if preferred)
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
• Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish (optional)

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced eggplant and garlic, sautéing until the eggplant is tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Season the eggplant with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and cook for an additional minute for the spices to bloom.
3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
4. Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed eggplant in the skillet. Cook on medium-low heat until the eggs are set around the edges.
5. Carefully lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Cook until the eggs are fully set but still fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
6. If desired, fold the omelette in half and let it cook for an extra minute.
7. Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs, if using.
