01 -

The turmeric gives the eggs a gorgeous golden hue and anti inflammatory benefits
Fresh herbs and vegetables make every bite bright and satisfying
It comes together in 20 minutes but tastes like something much more complicated

02 -

Dont rush the whisking step, getting air into the eggs makes them lighter and more tender
Fine chopping the vegetables prevents the omelette from breaking apart when you flip it
Let the edges set completely before attempting to flip or youll end up with scrambled eggs

03 -

Use a well seasoned non stick pan for the cleanest flip and most even cooking
Fresh tomatoes release more moisture than you might expect, so dont be alarmed if the eggs seem loose at first
