FRITTATA ALLE ERBETTE (BAKED HERB OMELETTE)
This baked omelette is quick, easy and a great summer dish. Scamorza cheese is an Italian cheese similar to mozzarella, that's harder and has more flavor. You can use mozzarella or a semi-hard cheese instead. This omelette would go well with a side dish like cherry tomato and anchovy salad.

Steps:
- Clean and dry all the fresh herbs well.
- Chop up all the herbs (this recipe makes enough to freeze a lot of the herbs in a large tupperware for future use.
- In a medium size mixing bowl combine herbs - fill bowl almost halfway.
- Add a few shakes of each spice (be careful not to overdo the cumin. I go heavy on the coriander (both forms- ground and seeds).
- Gently mix in 2 eggs with the herbs.
- Add olive oil to the bottom of a large teflon frying pan (I also add some more spices to the oil).
- Put mixture of herbs and eggs (it looks very green and not very eggy at all) into the pan and flatten to an omelette shape. I like to make it very thin so it cooks very well throughout.
- Cook until brown and flip - I usually slide it onto a plate and then add a little more oil to the pan and flip the omelette from the plate to the pan to finish browning the other side.
- When browned slide Kuku onto a plate add some salt if preferred and serve with pita bread. Good with plain yogurt too. Healthy and delish! Enjoy! My friends love when I make this for them.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Pan: A non-stick skillet is the best choice for making an omelet, as it prevents the eggs from sticking and makes it easy to flip.
- Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs will give you a lighter, fluffier omelet.
- Don't Overbeat the Eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your omelet tough. Just whisk them until they are combined.
- Cook the Omelet Over Medium Heat: This will help to prevent the eggs from burning.
- Be Patient: Don't rush the cooking process. Let the omelet cook slowly and evenly.
- Flip the Omelet Carefully: When the edges of the omelet are cooked, carefully flip it over using a spatula.
- Add Fillings Before Folding: If you are adding fillings to your omelet, do so before folding it over.
- Serve Immediately: Omelets are best served immediately after they are cooked.
