Recipe for Brocciu Omelette (Corsica)

Omelette with brocciu and fresh mint is a delicious and easy-to-make traditional Corsican dish. Brocciu is a typical Corsican fresh cheese, but if you don't have any, you can replace it with ricotta mixed with a little fresh goat's cheese for a similar taste. In just a few minutes, you can mix eggs with the creamy sweetness of brocciu and the freshness of mint. In just a few simple steps, you can transform these quality ingredients into a tasty meal, ideal for an energizing breakfast, lunch on the go or even an impromptu dinner party.
