ingredients

  • 2 dates, pitted
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon, plus for more serving
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the dates and cinnamon in a small bowl and submerge in boiling water. Allow the dates to soften for 10 minutes. Remove the dates from the water and chop into smaller pieces.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the water and salt and whisk to combine until fluffy.

  • Step 3

    Heat the butter on medium heat. Add the dates and fry them for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  • Step 4

    Pour in egg mixture. As eggs set around the edge of the skillet, with spatula, gently push cooked portions toward the center of the skillet. Tilt and rotate skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow into empty spaces.

  • Step 5

    When eggs are almost set, place a spatula under half the omelette and fold over. Serve with more cinnamon, if desired
