Omelettes are an easy way of turning eggs into a substantial meal. This one is pretty “rustic” and a very easy meal to prepare for one person. I have left the quantities deliberately vague as this is a fabulously easy meal to experiment with and make your own.
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed (optional)
A little of any fast cooking vegetable such as zucchini (courgettes), capsicum (bell pepper) (optional)
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil or butter
3 eggs
A dollop of raw milk or substitute
1 small tomato, chopped into small pieces
A handful basil, roughly chopped (optional)
A few frozen peas
sea salt
pepper, freshly ground
1/2 to 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese.
1. Pre-heat a griller large enough to fit your frypan underneath.
2. In a medium sized, heavy bottomed frypan, fry onions (and garlic, capsicum, zucchini if desired) in oil or butter until browned.
3. Meanwhile, beat the eggs, a dollop of milk, salt and pepper in a bowl.
4. Pour egg mix over browned vegetables so they completely coat the frypan base.
5. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes, basil and frozen peas to get a nice spread of colour.
6. Top with grated cheese.
7. Check the base of the omelette and when nicely browned, place frypan under the pre-heated grill to complete cooking the egg and brown the top.
8. Turn out carefully, but even if it all breaks up, the taste will be just as good.
