Making an Eggah

A traditional Persian dish, an eggah is a kind of thick, firm omelette baked in the oven and served sliced or cut into wedges, hot or cold. Eggahs can be made plain, with a touch of spice, but adding other ingredients is more traditional. Chopped spinach is used here, but fresh herbs, onion, garlic, peppers or other vegetables may be used.

1. Mix 6 beaten eggs with chosen flavourings. Pour into an oiled baking dish.

   

2. Bake at 170°C until firm, 15-20 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.
