Pasta Omelet (Froġa tat-tarja)

(Pasta Omelet)

Froġa tat-tarja is a traditional pasta omelet. The dish is usually made with a combination of eggs, vermicelli, butter (or olive oil), grated cheese, salt, and pepper. The eggs are whisked and mixed with the cheese and cooked pasta. The mixture is seasoned with salt and pepper and fried in a pan in butter.


Once it becomes firm, the pasta omelet is turned on the other side and cooked until golden. This pasta omelet is served immediately, while still warm. It's a great way to use leftover cooked pasta. There are many variations, including ingredients such as spinach, prosciutto, and scallions.
