A cheese and herb omelette

A cheese and herb omelette

Spring

A simple omelette is one of the best things you can cook quickly. Soft, buttery eggs with melting cheddar and fresh chives make a comforting meal that feels properly satisfying.

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 20g butter
  • A handful of mature cheddar cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • A small handful of finely snipped chives

Method

Whisk the eggs together in a bowl and season them with salt and pepper.

Set a small to medium sized nonstick frying pan over a medium high heat. Add the butter to the pan and when it’s bubbling away pour it into the bowl of whisked eggs and stir to combine.

Return the pan to the heat and when it’s really hot pour in the buttery eggs. Move them around the pan tipping and tilting and agitating the eggs with the end of a wooden spoon. After 30 to 40 seconds scatter over the cheese followed by the snipped chives.

Ease a spatula under one side of omelette and fold gently over. Slide the omelette out onto a warm plate and eat straight away.
