HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy.

02

Heat the butter in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

03

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. As the edges begin to set, gently push the cooked egg towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.

04

When the omelet is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the chopped dates and walnuts evenly over one half of the omelet.

05

Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the filling is warmed through.

06

Slide the omelet onto a plate. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of Persian flavor, add a pinch of saffron threads (soaked in a teaspoon of hot water) to the egg mixture. Ensure your skillet is truly non-stick for easy flipping and removal.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute almonds or pistachios for walnuts. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can replace the powdered sugar for a different kind of sweetness. Any type of milk or even water can be used in place of dairy milk.
