Vermicelli omelette or as called in Maltese ‘Froga tat-tarja’ is a very simple but tasty recipe. This recipe was originally developed as a way to use up leftover pasta. I remember my grandma making it as a kid. My mum on the other hand never made it for us so it was only as a grown up that I finally actually had this for the first time when I made it for myself. Shocking I know! This quickly became a favourite for those days when I’m too busy or tired and want something quick to eat. This recipe is perfect for breakfast or as a snack. It can even be made into a meal by adding more ingredients to the basic recipe.
