Moroccan puffed omelet or omelet soufflée is cooked in a skillet. Before cooking, It requires beating the egg whites and filling them with air bubbles. This special cooking method gives a puffy result with a perfect texture. Your omelet will resemble a beautiful cake and you can serve it with your favorite sauce (sweet or savory).

2- Moroccan Mhemmer Omelet:

This Moroccan food has a long history! It is a recipe for our mothers and grandmothers that still has a place in Moroccans’ hearts.

1. Boil potatoes, carrots, and fresh peas until they are tender (when the knife stuck inside comes out easily).

4. Pour extra virgin olive oil into a skillet. Add the mixture.

3- Berber Omelet:

Berber omelet is traditionally prepared in a tagine dish but we can, also, cook it in a cast-iron pan and the result would be still perfect. This spicy omelet, based on eggs and onion, is one of the best quick recipes in Morocco. Berber omelet is served especially for breakfast paired with Moroccan white bread and Moroccan mint tea.

Ingredients:

• 5 large Eggs, whisked
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 Garlic clove, crushed
• 1 tablespoon Argan Oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Salt to taste
• 2 teaspoons Ginger powder
• 2 teaspoons Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground Turmeric
• 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped Coriander
• 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped Parsley

Directions:

1. Heat Argan or olive oil in a tagine pot or a large pan over low heat and add chopped onion.
2. Season and sauté for about 8 minutes until caramelized (using the tagine pot would require more cooking time: about 15 minutes).
3. Now, add eggs and stir.
4. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
5. Scatter more parsley over your omelet and serve. I personally love serving this omelet with Batbout bread for breakfast!
