Cheese, tomato and ham omelette

Method

• Step 1

  Crack the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.

• Step 2

  Whisk the egg whites until they stand up in peaks, and then fold in the beaten yolks afterwards. This will make the omelette light and fluffy.

• Step 3

  Grate the cheese.

• Step 4

  Wash and dry the tomato. Chop it in half, scoop out the centre and discard. Chop up the outer part of the tomato.

• Step 5

  Chop up the ham.

• Step 6

  The omelette only needs around two minutes of actual cooking time. Be very careful not to burn it.

• Step 7

  Place the butter into a hot frying pan until it melts and is sizzling.

• Step 8

  Add the egg mixture and swirl around the pan until it is evenly spread.

• Step 9

  As soon as the bottom of the egg mixture starts to fi rm up (this will only take a few seconds) add the cheese, tomato and ham and spread them evenly over the egg.

• Step 10

  With a spatula, ease around the edge of the omelette to lift it from the pan. It will only need to cook for a minute or so. As soon as it looks firm, use the spatula to fold one half of the omelette onto the other half to create a half moon shape.

• Step 11

  Slide the omelette out of the pan and onto a plate.

• Step 12

  Enjoy eating your cheese, tomato and ham omelette!
