Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl, add 1/2 tsp turmeric, and whisk until fully blended and uniformly golden.
  2. Step 2: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add 1/2 cup thawed corn and cook for 2 minutes until lightly golden and heated through.
  3. Step 3: Pour the turmeric egg mixture over the corn in the skillet, swirling to spread evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Step 4: Once the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped chives and 1 tbsp chopped dill over the top.
  5. Step 5: Fold the omelet in half and cook for an additional 1 minute until the eggs are fully set but still tender, ensuring the omelet is golden and the corn is perfectly cooked.
