APPETIZER WITH OLIVES AND HERBS

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Italian Grandma Duck kitchen. I hope you enjoyed last weeks recipe!

Today I will show you how to do an egg appetizer with olives and herbs. It is a simple and fast recipe, perfect for an 'aperitivo', a very popular Italian tradition where we go out before dinner and enjoy appetizers and cocktails. 

Hope you will like it!

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients (4 people):

• 6 eggs
• 30 gr of pitted green olives
• A little bit of rosemary or sage
• Sesame seeds
• Leek or some pieces of brown onions
• 2 spoons of milk
• Oil
• Salt
• Pepper

Method:

• Rinse the sage or rosemary and cut it in very small pieces
• Throw away the outside leaves of the leek, wash it and cut it in very small pieces (same thing if you are using the brown onion) and cook in a pot with a little bit of oil. Keep stirring and be careful to not make the leek turn black
• Cut the olives in small pieces
• Put the eggs in a bowl and whisk them. Slowly add a little bit of milk, salt and pepper.
• Add the leek to the egg mixture
• Preheat the oven at 180 C degrees
• Get a tray and use some baking paper. Put the mixture on the tray and try to make the surface even
• Cook in the oven for 20 min till the appetizer reaches a golden colour
• Cut the appetizer in small pieces and serve it hot or warm. Add some olives on the side for decoration
