Method

My Omelette is a community recipe submitted by lesliemeier and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  • Break and beat eggs, season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in non stick omelette pan and mix in oil.
  • Cover the base of the pan with the parmesan and put on mild heat.
  • Pour over beaten eggs. Turn up the heat a bit (but not fiercely) and allow eggs to set softly all the while the parmesan base will be getting brown and crispy.
  • Do not disturb the base, as this will spoil the special quality of this omelette. When the omelette reaches your desired doneness, add herbs, roll and serve on hot plate.
  • Also works filled with a small quantity of gruyere and cream, or any other savoury filing, bacon, tiny little golden croutons, a little well cooked spinach
