Method

  1. Put the watercress in a colander and pour over a kettle of boiling water to wilt it. Squeeze out any excess water and chop. Whisk the eggs together with some seasoning, then mix in the watercress and chives. Heat a little knob of butter in a small frying pan. Pour in half the egg mix and leave to set for a minute. Start drawing in the sides of the omelette so the uncooked egg runs into the gaps until the omelette is set. Sprinkle over half the cheese and fold onto a plate.
  2. Repeat to make the second omelette. Serve with crusty bread and butter, or a salad.
