Ingredients
- 2 thin flatbreads
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter
- 1 small onion or 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steps
- Beat the eggs with the chopped onion, garlic, cardamom, half the tomato, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until evenly combined but not frothy.
- Heat half the oil or butter in a wide nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour in half the egg mixture and tilt the pan so it spreads into a thin, even layer, as you would for a crepe rather than an omelette.
- Lay one flatbread directly onto the wet egg while it is still liquid on top and press down firmly with a spatula for 20 seconds, so the egg grips the bread as it sets.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the egg is fully set underneath and has fused to the bread, then flip the whole thing and cook the bread side for 1 to 2 minutes until crisp and lightly charred.
- Repeat with the remaining fat, egg, and second flatbread.
- Scatter the remaining tomato and the fresh herbs over the egg side, fold or roll each bread, and cut in half.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges, while the egg is still tender and the bread crisp.
