Omelette1

I have never been a great fan of omelettes. They need to be extra well cooked and full of other stuff so that they don't taste too eggy. Not keen on Spanish tortilla or anything like it.

BUT we had eggs to use up in the fridge, so I decided to make one (this is very rare). And guess what? It was absolutely fantastic! I am now seriously prepared to make omelettes on a regular basis, who would have guessed?


The following will feed 4 people:

1 courgette, cut in quarters in the length then thinly sliced
1 broccoli, cut in tiny florets
6 baby sweetcorn cobs, sliced

3 eggs
~ 200ml milk
100g grated cheddar

1. Fry all the vegetables with olive oil until tender and set aside.

2. Mix the eggs and milk together. Pour onto a with olive oil pre-heated frying pan. Add some of the cheese then the vegetables, then the rest of the cheese.

3. Cook until completely set and golden. Serve with a green salad and some crusty bread.
