A fluffy, sweet omelet infused with cinnamon and star anise-scented milk, oats, coconut, and raisins—an unusual breakfast inspired by Asian cuisine.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the milk in a small saucepan along with the cinnamon, star anise (if using), butter, and coconut flakes until it starts to simmer, then turn off the heat.

  2. Separately, beat the eggs with the salt, sugar, oats, and raisins.

  3. Pour half of the egg mixture into a preheated pan, swirling the pan and cooking over medium-low heat.

  4. After 1 minute, distribute half of the warmed milk (from which you have removed the star anise and cinnamon) over the omelet.

  5. Fold the omelet and serve it warm, sprinkled with your chosen toppings.

The story behind this recipe

Eggs are the most affordable complete food. They are rich in protein, amino acids, and minerals. Omelets are one of the favorite breakfast dishes. They are versatile, and you can prepare them in absolutely any combination.

I was leafing through an Asian cookbook yesterday when I found a recipe for a sweet omelet. I had never thought of such a combination, even though friganele are basically sweet eggs with bread.

I absolutely loved the result and decided to share the recipe with you. I customized it here and there, as I couldn't help myself.

For 2 omelets, we need:

4 eggs

70 ml milk (I used plant-based)

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon oats

1 teaspoon coconut flakes

2 tablespoons raisins

1 piece of cinnamon

1 star anise (optional)

1 teaspoon butter

A pinch of salt

For the garnish, I used almond flakes, mascarpone, and frozen fruit.

Place the milk in a saucepan to heat up along with the cinnamon, star anise (if you chose to add it), butter, and coconut flakes. Let it simmer, then turn off the heat.

Separately, beat the eggs with the salt, sugar, oats, and raisins.

Pour half of the egg quantity into a preheated pan, shake the pan well, and leave it on medium-low heat.

After 1 minute, distribute half of the warmed milk—after removing the star anise and cinnamon—over the omelet.

Fold it and serve it warm, sprinkled with whatever your heart desires.
