Double cheese, salad onion & chilli omelette

Double cheese, salad onion & chilli omelette

Spicy, cheesy and herby, this omelette is one of my favourite speedy, solo work-from-home lunches. It takes minutes to prepare and cook but still manages to feel a bit special.

Ingredients

  • 10g unsalted butter
  • 2 salad onions, trimmed and finely sliced
  • 1 Thai red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced, plus extra to serve
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 15g mature Cheddar, coarsely grated
  • 20g vegetarian Brie, sliced
  • Clear honey, to drizzle
  • Sprigs of coriander leaves picked, plus extra sprigs to serve
  • Sprigs of mint, leaves picked, plus extra sprigs to serve
  • Green salad, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Put a 20-22 cm frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Add the salad onions and chilli, then cook, stirring, for a few minutes to soften. Add the beaten eggs to the pan. Season and stir for a couple of minutes so the eggs start to cook. When they are almost cooked, sprinkle over the Cheddar

  2. Turn up the heat a little, cook for a further minute, then top half the omelette with the sliced Brie. The underside of the omelette should be starting to brown a little and it should just be set on top. Drizzle with a little honey, scatter with the herbs and fold over. Slide onto a plate, scatter with extra sliced chilli and herbs, and tuck in. A fresh green salad makes a brilliant accompaniment, if liked.

Cook’s tip

HEALTH BOOST

Chillies are rich in phytochemicals, the source of beneficial antioxidants and vitamins. Surprisingly, they also have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with digestion. Just be careful not to overdo it!
