Cheese and mushroom omelette

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 10-12 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100g grated cheddar cheese
  • 300g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 a splash rapeseed oil, or other oil with a high cooking temperature

To serve:

  • Salad including 1 red pepper and 1 avocado or peas

 

Method

Utensils: Large frying pan

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork.  Add a little salt and pepper.

Heat the oil in the frying pan, then add the mushrooms, and fry for a few minutes.  Set to one side.

Heat the rest of the oil in the frying pan, then add the eggs.  To get a fluffier omelette, either scramble the eggs slightly with a spatula, or tip the pan slightly on the heat and as the egg cooks at the side nearest the heat, pull it back with a spatula to the other end of the pan.

When the egg is almost set, either:

Scatter the mushrooms and cheese over the omelette and put under a hot grill for a few minutes.

Or:

Scatter the mushrooms and cheese over half the omelette then fold the other half over the filling and leave in the pan for a few more minutes to cook through.

Serve with a salad or peas.
