Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl then beat well with a fork or whisk.
Add the milk into the bowl and whisk until nicely combined.
Whisk in the flour, until nicely incorporated and there are no lumps in the mixture.
Add the spring onions, chopped parsley & dill, grated cheese, paprika, salt, and freshly ground pepper, and mix well.
Place a non-stick frying pan on medium-low heat to warm up and add ½ tablespoon of olive oil.
Carefully pour in a ladle of the egg mixture, or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
Tilt the pan to spread them out evenly and cook it until the omelet sets and start to turn golden brown on the edges.
Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula and cook for another minute.
Remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelet onto a plate.
Return the pan to the heat and cook the rest of the omelets until you run out of mixture.

Use fresh free-range eggs as they are the star ingredients of this delicious Turkish omelet dish.

Make sure you use a nonstick pan for making omelets and heat it thoroughly before adding the mixture to it.

Cook Kaygana over medium-low heat and be patient. Cooking it on high heat can result in a rubbery or overcooked egg dish.
