Total Time:

Ingredients:
  • 800g butternut pumpkin, deseeded, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • 82.50 ml fresh chives, loosely packed, finely chopped
  • 2 egg whites, at room temperature
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, to grease
  • 4 thick slices crusty Italian bread, toasted, to serve
  • Chive sprigs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the grill to high heat. Boil the pumpkin in a saucepan until tender. Drain and mash the pumpkin until smooth using a potato masher or fork. Allow it to cool slightly for 15 minutes.
  • Start by cracking the whole eggs into a spacious bowl. Utilize an electric beater to whip the eggs until they become thick. Incorporate the mashed pumpkin and chopped chives. Gently fold the mixture with a large metal spoon.
  • In a large, clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric beater until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pumpkin mixture in 2 batches using a large metal spoon, until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Grease a small non-stick frying pan (14cm base measurement) with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Pour a quarter of the egg mixture into the pan and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes until golden underneath. Then, place the pan under the preheated grill about 5cm from the heat source and cook for 3 minutes until the omelette is golden and cooked through. Transfer to a serving plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining mixture in three more batches, lightly greasing the pan with oil before cooking each omelette.
  • Serve the omelettes right away on toasted bread, garnished with chive sprigs.
