Herb OmeletSource: Libre Del Coch, Mestre Robert, cook to ‘don Ferrando de Napols’ Catalan, 16th century.[1] Original Recipe[2]:
Translation: (by Robin Carroll-Mann) [3]:
My Interpretation:
Heat skillet over medium low heat. Whisk eggs together and place enough in pan to make an omelet the size of the pan. Sprinkle with herbs. When egg mixture firms, fold in half to continue cooking through. Place on platter and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Note: You can also cook the egg open face, as one would cook a frittata. This can be done by placing the pan under a broiler until the top is cooked.
