Omelette
Busy lifestyles mean we don’t always have time to cook from scratch. Omelettes are a very quick meal to make and are very healthy, especially if you take care to include lots of vegetables.
Serves One
Suitable for vegetarians
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 teaspoons of water
- ½ teaspoon of chopped fresh or dried herbs (optional)
- Black pepper
- Olive oil
Method:
- Beat the eggs, water, pepper and herbs (if using) together. If you do this in a jug it makes it easier to pour into the pan.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, and add the egg mixture. Spread the mixture around the pan and cook until the eggs are set and come away from the edge of the pan
- Turn the omelette carefully to cook on the other side
- To add some variety to your omelette, try gently cooking some vegetables in the pan before adding the egg mixture. Some tasty combinations are: chopped onion, cherry tomatoes and peas; or chopped onion and mushroom. You can also try adding meat, for example, ham or some cooked chicken.
