RECIPE PREPARATION
Yogurt Sauce
  • Stir yogurt, lemon juice, oil, and honey in a small bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper.

Fennel and Olive Salad
  • Toss fennel, olives, oil, lemon juice, and honey in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt and pepper.

Cromlet and Assembly
  • Whisk cashew milk into chickpea flour in a medium bowl. Let sit until slightly thickened, 12–15 minutes. Whisk in eggs; season with salt and pepper and seasoning mix of choice, if desired.

  • Meanwhile, heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium. Cook garlic, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add greens by the handful, tossing until wilted before adding more. Cook, tossing occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes; season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon. Transfer to a plate.

  • Wipe out skillet and heat 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet over medium-high. Cook mushrooms, undisturbed, until deeply browned, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook, tossing occasionally, until other side is deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Season with tamari to taste. Transfer to a plate.

  • Wipe out skillet and heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in reserved skillet over medium-high. Pour in batter and cook, undisturbed, until bottom is deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until light golden brown (edges will curl slightly), about 3 minutes.

  • Serve cromlet in skillet or transfer to a plate. Top with wilted greens, mushrooms, yogurt sauce, and fennel and olive salad. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
