Cook an omelet with purslane and lor cheese by briefly sautéing washed, dried purslane, then adding beaten eggs and crumbled lor. Cook over medium-low heat until the eggs are set. Taste the lor before adding salt, since some varieties are already salty.
Lor is a mild, fresh Turkish whey cheese with a soft, crumbly texture. In an omelet with purslane and lor cheese, it adds a gentle dairy flavor without overpowering the greens; drain it first if it seems watery.
Yes, purslane can be eaten raw, but it is usually lightly cooked in an omelet with purslane and lor cheese. Wash it thoroughly and dry it well; a quick sauté softens the leaves and helps keep the eggs from turning watery.
Purslane tastes mildly tangy and fresh in an omelet with purslane and lor cheese, with tender leaves and slightly crisp stems. Its gentle flavor pairs well with mild lor; remove thick, tough stems before cooking.
Feta or cottage cheese can replace lor in an omelet with purslane and lor cheese. Feta gives a saltier, sharper result, while cottage cheese is wetter and softer, so drain it before adding it to the pan.
Dry the purslane thoroughly and drain any wet lor before cooking an omelet with purslane and lor cheese. Sauté the purslane briefly to release excess moisture, then add the eggs and avoid covering the pan, which can trap steam.
Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined, then cook the omelet with purslane and lor cheese gently over medium-low heat. Avoid overfilling it with greens or lor, and take it off the heat as soon as the eggs are set.
Serve an omelet with purslane and lor cheese with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, or crusty bread. For a lighter meal, add a simple green salad; the fresh, crisp sides balance the soft eggs and cheese.
An omelet with purslane and lor cheese keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it promptly after cooking, and reheat it until hot throughout before eating.
Yes, you can freeze an omelet with purslane and lor cheese, but the eggs may turn rubbery and the purslane may release water after thawing. For the best texture, eat it freshly cooked; if freezing, cool it first and seal it well.

Omelet with purslane and lor cheese is a Turkish home-style dish made by folding tender purslane and fresh lor into eggs as they cook. Lor is a mild, crumbly Turkish whey cheese; it is not the same as ricotta, though both are fresh cheeses. The greens soften in the pan, bringing a fresh, faintly tangy note to the creamy eggs and cheese. In Turkey it can appear at breakfast with bread, tomatoes and tea, or make a simple light meal. It offers a good amount of protein, while purslane adds some greens. Use just a little oil and cook gently to keep the omelet moist.
