Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with 0.5 tsp salt until frothy. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Rinse the 12 oz oysters and pat dry. Slice the 1 cucumber and 1 tomato into thin rounds; tear the 2 cups lettuce into bite-size pieces.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 1 tbsp of the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the oysters and cook until they plump and edges curl, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Pour in the eggs, tilting to cover the bottom. Cook until the eggs are just set around the edges, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter the cooked oysters over one half of the omelette. Fold the other half over, then slide onto a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Serve the omelette with the cucumber, tomato, lettuce, and 0.25 cup cilantro on the side.

  7. Step 7

    Season with extra salt or pepper if you like.
