Cheesy Courgette Omelette
Cheesy Courgette Omelette with a hint of garlic is light, fluffy and delicious!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 8 eggs large
- 75 ml milk
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 courgettes sliced (enough to generously fill fry pan in single layer)
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 100 g mature Cheddar cheese grated (or to taste)
Instructions
- Pre-heat grill to a high heat.
- Whisk the eggs together.
- Add the milk, salt and pepper and whisk again.
- In a large frying pan heat the oil to a medium high heat and fry the courgettes and garlic for about 6 minutes on both sides until cooked through and turning golden.
- Turn down the heat to medium and add the whisked egg mixture.
- As the omelette starts to set run a spatula around the outside and tipping the pan to allow the raw egg to escape over the sides of the omelette to speed up the cooking.
- You can also slide you spatula into the body of the omelette to allow raw egg to reach the bottom of the omelette too.
- Once you have repeated this process to the stage where there are only a few millimetres of raw egg left on top, scatter on the grated cheese.
- Place the pan under the grill and cook until golden and puffed up! (If you're using a non-stick pan that's not suitable for sticking under the grill then slide the omelette onto a heatproof platter or baking tray)).
- Cut into 4 and serve with salad or crusty bread.
