Giada Strawberry-mint Omelet Ingredients

• 7 to 8 medium strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar
• 4 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 tbsp of heavy cream
• 2 tbsp of sugar
• ½ tsp of kosher salt
• 3 tbsp of finely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1 tbsp of unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1½ tsp of extra-virgin olive oil

How To Make Giada Strawberry-mint Omelet

1. Prep the Strawberries: In a small bowl, toss the strawberries with the white wine vinegar and let them sit for 15 minutes to soak in the flavor. Strain them before using them to remove any excess vinegar.
2. Whisk the Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, sugar, and kosher salt until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Once smooth, gently stir in the finely chopped mint to evenly distribute the flavor.
3. Heat the Pan: In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter has melted and is bubbling. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed until it’s almost set, which should take about 4 minutes. You want the edges to firm up while the center remains slightly soft.
4. Add the Strawberries: Once the eggs are nearly set, spoon the prepared strawberries in a line across the center of the omelet. Carefully fold the edges of the omelet over the strawberries to enclose them in the center. Let the omelet cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, ensuring the eggs are fully set and cooked through.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the omelet into portions, then transfer the pieces seam-side down onto your serving plates. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the fresh, minty flavors with the sweet strawberries.

Recipe Tips

• Add some texture: Sprinkle toasted almonds or chopped nuts on top before serving for added crunch and a nice contrast to the soft omelet.
• Make it savory: If you prefer a more savory dish, skip the sugar and add a pinch of black pepper or crumbled feta cheese instead of mint.
• Use fresh herbs: Fresh basil can be a great alternative to mint. It brings a slightly sweet and peppery flavor that complements the strawberries beautifully.
• Adjust sweetness: For a sweeter touch, drizzle a little honey over the finished omelet. It adds a natural sweetness without overpowering the flavors.
• Control the tartness: If you find the vinegar too sharp, reduce it slightly or use balsamic vinegar for a richer, more mellow taste.
