Main Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 3 stalks fresh chives
- 3 red cherry tomatoes
- A little cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare 2 fresh eggs by cracking them into a bowl. Make sure to remove the chalaza (the white, stringy bits) for a smoother omelet. Add a pinch of fine salt and whisk everything together thoroughly.
Step 2
Wash and thoroughly dry about 3 stalks of fresh chives. Chives add a fragrant aroma and vibrant green color to the omelet, making it even more delicious. Finely chop them into pieces about 0.5 cm in size.
Step 3
Wash 3 red cherry tomatoes, remove the stems, and cut them in half. You can gently scoop out some of the inner seeds if you like. Then, finely mince them as if you were dicing. This is also a great way to use up leftover cherry tomatoes.
Step 4
Add the finely chopped chives and minced cherry tomatoes to the prepared egg mixture. Stir well with chopsticks or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly combined with the egg. The colorful mixture already looks delightful!
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking oil. Be careful not to use too much oil, as it can make the omelet greasy.
Step 6
Pour about one-third of the egg mixture into the heated pan and swirl the pan to spread it thinly. When the egg is about 70% cooked and still slightly moist, gently lift the pan or use chopsticks to push the cooked egg towards one side and fold it in half. Pour in another portion of the remaining egg mixture, allowing it to connect with the previously folded egg. Repeat this process, slowly rolling the omelet as you continue to add egg mixture. It’s crucial to maintain low heat to prevent burning and ensure it rolls up beautifully while still moist. (Tip: The flavor of the cherry tomatoes is very subtle, and you’ll enjoy a mild, smooth taste with the fragrance of chives.)
Step 7
Slice the finished Traffic Light Rolled Omelet into bite-sized pieces and arrange them attractively on a plate. Even children who dislike tomatoes will be fascinated and eat it happily, calling it a ‘traffic light’! When you need a quick snack, a simple accompaniment for drinks, or are pondering what to make for dinner, create a joyful mealtime with this colorful Traffic Light Rolled Omelet. Showing it to your child and saying, ‘Ta-da! It’s Traffic Light Rolled Omelet!’ will surely make them smile.
