- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- Easy
- Serves 1
Ingredients
- 1 spring onion
- a few sprigs of fresh coriander
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp sunflower oil
- ½ -1 tsp chopped fresh red chilli, or a generous pinch dried chilli flakes
- 25g mild grated cheddar
Method
- STEP 1
Chop the spring onion and coriander quite finely and beat the eggs together with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a small frying pan then tip in the onion, coriander and chilli and stir round the pan for a second or two so they soften a little. Pour in the eggs and keep them moving until two thirds have scrambled.
- STEP 2
Settle the eggs back down on the base of the pan, scatter over the cheese and cook for about a minute until the omelette is just set and the cheese has melted.
- STEP 3
Carefully fold the omelette using a palette knife and slide from the pan to a serving plate. Eat while the omelette is hot and the cheese still melted.
