chilli cheese omelette

Cheese + chilli omelette


I love this combination of strong cheddar cheese, spring onions, green chillies and garlic.

Mixed with butter it makes the perfect cheese on toast with added kick.

And today I made it into a Thai-style omelette. By which I mean browned and fluffy and completely cooked through (unlike a classic French omelette for instance).

2 eggs in a bowl with
1-2 green chillies, sliced
I small clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
1-2 spring onions, sliced
A dash of fish sauce or a pinch of salt

Beat together, getting lots of air in and then add a handful of grated cheddar.

Get the pan hot then add 1-2 tablespoons oil and when that is hot tip in the egg mixture.

It will sizzle and the edges start to curl!

Cook for a couple of minutes on a high heat so the underside is browned then turn and repeat.

Turn out onto a plate, sprinkle with coriander leaves if liked and some freshly ground black pepper if liked and garnish with some slices of cucumber and a wedge of lime to squeeze over.

Maybe serve with Sriracha Sauce if you have some.

If you want something more substantial, have it with rice.
