Squash Blossom Omelet
Ingredients:
2 eggs scrambled with a fork
2 squash blossoms chopped
1 teaspoon butter
2 teaspoons nice olive oil
Good sea salt
Method:
In a non-stick pan over medium heat, slowly cook squash blossoms with the butter and oil, and a very small pinch of salt. Once the blossoms are soft add the eggs and immediately start stirring them with a rubber spatula. Continue until the eggs are nice and runny. Add a small pinch more salt and allow to sit over the flame without stirring until a thin cook layer of eggs is formed and you can roll it over on to plate, trapping the runny scramble eggs inside.
