Measures and names
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Knob of butter (about 15g)
- 50 g cheddar or gruyère, grated
- Salt and black pepper
Optional extras
- Small handful of chives
Method
- Beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over a medium heat until foaming.
- Pour in the eggs. As they set, draw the edges in and tilt the pan so the runny egg flows out.
- When almost set, scatter the cheese over one half, fold, and slide onto a plate.
Swaps and tips
Take the omelette out while the centre is still a little soft — it carries on cooking. Don’t overload it with filling.
