CHEESE AND HAM OMELETTE
Ingredients
- 3 free-range eggs
- 10g/½oz unsalted butter
- 30g/1oz cheddar
- preferably Montgomery cheddar
- 1 thick slice ham
- finely chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Gently beat the eggs together in a mixing bowl and season
- to taste
- with salt and pepper.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Pour in the eggs and cook for a few seconds
- until the bottom of the omelette is lightly set. Push the set parts of the omelette into the uncooked centre of the omelette. Cook again
- until the omelette has set further
- then push those set parts into the centre of the omelette again. Repeat the process until the eggs have just set but the omelette is still soft in the centre.
- Put the cheese and three-quarters of the ham in the centre of the omelette and cook until the cheese has melted.
- Increase the heat to high and cook the omelette for a further 30 seconds
- or until it browns on the bottom.
- Fold the omelette in half
- then remove the pan from the heat and tilt it slightly to move the omelette to the edge of the pan. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate
- then shape it into a neat roll. Sprinkle over the remaining ham.
