Ingredients

  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Fresh parsley
  • 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
  • 0.5 cup Fresh dill
  • 4 medium Green onions
  • 2 tablespoons Barberries (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Walnuts (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2Finely chop the 1 cup of fresh parsley, 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro, 0.5 cup of fresh dill, and 4 medium green onions.
  3. 3In a large bowl, thoroughly whisk the 6 large eggs until they are well combined.
  4. 4Add the finely chopped 1 cup of fresh parsley, 0.5 cup of fresh cilantro, 0.5 cup of fresh dill, and 4 medium green onions to the whisked eggs. If you are using them, add the 2 tablespoons of barberries and 2 tablespoons of walnuts. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. 5Add the 0.25 teaspoon of turmeric, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the egg and herb mixture. Stir until all the spices are evenly distributed.
  6. 6Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat on your stovetop until the oil is shimmering. Carefully pour the entire egg and herb mixture into the hot skillet. Cook on the stovetop for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata appear set and slightly firm.
  7. 7Carefully transfer the skillet with the frittata to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and its top is golden brown.
  8. 8Remove the skillet from the oven and let the Kuku Sabzi cool in the skillet for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This cooling step helps the frittata set completely and makes it easier to slice.
