A Two-Egg Masala Omelette
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
- 1/8 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
- teaspoon whole cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped shallots or red onions
- 3 cherry tomatoes, quartered
- Dash of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
- Pour the oil into a 6- or 7-inch, preferably nonstick or other well-seasoned frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
- When hot, put in the mustard and cumin seeds.
- As soon as the mustard seeds pop, a matter of seconds, turn the heat to medium low.
- Toss in the shallots and stir them once or twice.
- Quickly add the tomatoes, cayenne, cilantro, and a dash of salt and pepper.
- Stir and cook about a minute or until the tomatoes have softened a bit.
- Stir the beaten eggs and add them, letting them spread out in the pan.
- Turn heat to medium.
- Quickly mix all the ingredients in the pan, and then let the mixture spread out to the edges of the pan.
- Cover until the eggs are almost set.
- Now fold the omelette, first bringing the left side slightly past the center and then the right side over the left side.
- Turn the omelette over, pressing down a bit with the spatula for a few seconds.
- Serve immediately.
