Kuku or kookoo (Persian: کوکو) is an Iranian dish made of whipped eggs with various ingredients folded in. It is similar to the Italian frittata, the French quiche, or an open-faced omelette, but it typically has less egg than a frittata, and is cooked for a shorter time, over a low heat, before being turned over or grilled briefly to set the top layer. It is served either hot or cold as a starter, side dish, or a main course, and is accompanied with bread and either yogurt or salad.
