Ingredients:

2 eggs
8–10 fresh butterfly pea flowers
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Optional: chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions:

Gently wash and pat dry the fresh butterfly pea flowers. Remove the stems and sepals.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with soy sauce and salt.
Heat oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting to spread evenly.
Immediately place the whole butterfly pea flowers onto the egg mixture, gently pressing them down.
Cook for about 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden and the top is nearly set.
Carefully flip the omelette and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Slide onto a plate, flower side up, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Serve hot with rice or as part of a larger meal.

This version incorporates the fresh flowers directly into the omelette, which will create a beautiful pattern of blue flowers on the surface. The flowers will also impart a subtle blue tint to the eggs around them as they cook.
