I haven't had eggs with coconut before so, I tried your recipe. This egg dish had crunch, sweet and spice all rolled into one. An unusal dish. My husband really liked it. I used half the amount of onion called for because my onion had very strong smell and I didn't want it to over power the dish. Half the onion turned out to enough onion for us. Thanks Blue Peacock.

The coconut gives this omelete a unique pleasant flavor. I did one thing different - I browned the onions first, removed them from the pan and added them when I had poured the omelete in the pan. At first I thought "Coconut in an omelete?" but when I thought about it I use coconut with curries so why not.. I will make this recipe again as an appetizer, roll the omelete tightly cut crosswise, secure pieces with toothpicks & serve with a mango chutney. This recipe is definately worth trying Thank your Mom Blue Peacock for passing this recipe on

I am a school psychologist and enjoy cooking, traveling, dancing, sports and music. Recently, I have remarried and moved to New Jersey. Like many of the mothers on Recipezaar, I have two precious boys, a 7-year-old and I have just given birth to my second son.
I love to try all kinds of food, particularly from other countries, because for that nationality, that food is the most delicious for them. After moving to New Jersey, I have had the wonderful opportunity to try food from all over the world, especially authentic Italian-yummy! Cooking is one of the most wonderful things that a person can do. My son loves to mix and help in the kitchen; it brings everyone joy when he is creating his masterpiece.
