Equipment
- 1 Large non-stick pan or skillet
Ingredients
- 4 Large egg Add more or less according to the size of egg you use
- 100 grams Cooked chicken Shredded or diced ( About 3.5oz )
- 2-3 Mushroom Portobello, white, button, shiitake, oyster, etc. ( cut thin slices )
- 3-4 Cherry tomaotes Or salad or vine tomatoes ( cut wedges or dice )
- handful Spinach
- 20 grams Cheddar cheese Grated cheddar, feta, mozzarella, or parmesan. ( about 0.7 oz )
- 1-2 tbsp Unsalted butter Or olive oil or a choice of cooking oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Beat 4 eggs in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Prepare the chicken and vegetables.
- Heat the pan to medium heat. Add butter and saute the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add tomatoes and follow with the spinach and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add cooked shredded chicken. Remove everything from the pan and set them aside.
- Wipe clean the pan with a paper towel. Add more butter to the pan. Add the whisked egg and let it set for a few seconds. Then use a spoon or spatula and pull the edges to the middle of the pan. So the uncooked egg will fill the pan.
- Once the egg is almost set, fill half of the egg with cooked chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle grated cheese over the fillings.
- Fold the omelette and continue to cook for another 1 minute or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately with a choice of salad, toppings or toasted bread.
Notes
- Customize the fillings - you can be creative by adding the protein and vegetables you have on hand. You don't have to add the same ingredients used in this recipe.
- Protein choices - diced ham, sausage, bacon, chorizo, prawns, and scallops, are popular protein choices.
- Vegetable add-ons - diced onions, bell peppers, carrots, sweet corn, courgette ( zucchini ), asparagus, etc. Add some fresh chilli slices for a kick of heat.
