Ingredients

  • 1 Pissourkotiko Traditional Sheep Halloumi , Charalambides Christis, diced
  • 500g Pumpkin , peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 red Pepper , long horn, seeded and diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh Mint , roughly minced
  • 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • 3 tbsp EVOO , Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 9 Eggs , whisked very well
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Take a medium-large oven proof pan and place on medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of the oil, allow to heat up for a minute and toss in the halloumi. Cook until a bit browned while tossing frequently. Remove from the pan and keep aside.
  • In the same pan add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil and allow to heat up for a minute. Add the pumpkin cooking for about 10’ to soften. Season with the salt and pepper, add the peppers and cook for further 2’.
  • Then add the halloumi, pour the balsamic vinegar, add the mint and the whisked eggs. Give it a gentle stir and cook for about 5’ so that the base of the omelette is set.
  • In the meantime, turn on the oven to max temperature, broiler/grill on and place inside the pan with the omelette. Cook for about 5’ until the omelette is puffy and golden browned.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5’ and place the omelette to a large plate. Cut and serve.
