About Omelette au Brocciu
Omelette au brocciu, also called frittata di brocciu by Fromagerie Antoine Ottavi, is a Corsican egg dish with the island’s fresh dairy cheese. This version pairs slices of brocciu with fresh mint.
The brocciu brings a mild, creamy richness, lifted by the mint’s fresh herbal aroma. Olive oil, salt and pepper provide a simple savoury background.
The omelette is folded over its soft centre, enclosing the cheese slices. Its exterior is golden while the inside remains moist and tender, with a mint sprig completing the presentation.
