A fast, savoury breakfast that keeps you full.
Equipment: Non-stick frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Knob of butter (about 15g)
- 2 slices of good-quality ham, chopped
- 40 g cheddar, grated
- Salt and black pepper
Optional extras
- Small handful of chives, snipped
Method
- Beat the eggs with a little salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and pour in the eggs.
- As the eggs begin to set, draw the edges into the middle and tilt the pan so the runny egg flows to the sides.
- When almost set, scatter the ham and cheese over one half. Fold the omelette over, slide onto a plate, and serve. Taste before adding salt — the ham already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Any cooked meat or hard cheese works here. Add a handful of spinach or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
