Ingredients

Method
  • 100 g organic feta, crumbled
  • 80 g chopped mixed organic herbs (basil, chives, parsley and dill)
  • 4 T organic olive oil
  • Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning
  • 8 organic eggs
  • ¼ cup organic cream

Mix the feta and herbs with 30ml (2T) olive oil and a twist of black pepper.
Lightly beat the eggs then add the cream.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a suitable pan – about 20cm in diameter and deep enough to take the mixture comfortably.
Pour in the egg mixture then spoon over the cheese mixture.
Gently cook for about 15 minutes, until almost set.
Slide under the grill for a minute or two to set and brown the top.
Season then cut into wedges for serving – out of the pan or at room temperature.

TASTE’s take:
A cross between a thick omelette and a crustless quiche, eggah is best made in a heavy omelette pan.
