Background
This cheese and red pepper omelette is just the job for a quick & easy brunch/lunch. Use nutty cheese such as mature Cheddar or Emmental to have an intense flavour! Serve it with crusty bread or English muffin.
Ingredients
- 2 spring onions or 1 shallot
- 3 medium eggs
- ½ red chilli (optional)
- ½ red bell pepper
- 4 cherry tomatoes
- 2 Tbsp grated cheese ( Cheddar or Emmental)
- 1 handful of basil leaves
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Lightly whisk the eggs in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop the spring onions and the red pepper ( and chilli). Grate the cheese and set aside. Halve the tomatoes.
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the chopped veggies (except the tomatoes) and sauté for 5 minutes until they’ve softened. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs mixture, allowing it to spread out evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, or until the egg is almost set.
- Sprinkle over the cheese, turn the heat down and cook for a couple of minutes. Scatter some basil leaves on top, then carefully fold the omelette in half with a spatula. Let the cheese melt, then cut the omelette in half and serve.
