Leftovers Baked Omelette
This dish draws inspiration from the delightful Persian Kuku Sabzi, taking a creative twist on the classic baked omelette concept. Instead of herbs, I utilize the goodness of leftover rice and salad. With a family of three, there's often some salad and rice left, so this recipe comes to the rescue.
In the morning, I whip everything together with eggs and herbs to create a delicious brunch that not only saves on cost but also helps reduce food wastage. The best part is, you can use any type of leftover rice and salad you have available.
Just remember to drain the salad to avoid a watery, soggy baked omelette. Keeping the seasoning light on the omelette allows the flavors from the already seasoned salad and rice to shine through.
I hope you'll give this recipe a go and join me in taking a step closer to reducing food wastage. Let's savor this delightful dish and make the most of our leftovers!
