This week's menu and improvised omelette

We had to change things a bit as I discovered yesterday that we had 5 eggs in the fridge which best before date was 7th December.

So we made a big big omelette with the following ingredients:

5 eggs
2 courgettes
1 red pepper
150ml milk
150g grated cheddar
Herbes de Provences
Black pepper

And this is what is on the menu for the rest of the week:

Broccoli soup (new!)
Baked potatoes (new!)
Pizza
Potato and lentil bake (new!)

It is not that we eat only 4 times a week, but we cook for 4, so we can enjoy leftovers either for lunch or for dinner the following day.

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.
