If you would like to explore the humble egg as a base ingredient try reading Eggs by Michel Roux for some inspirational ideas.
2 large fresh eggs
1 tablespoon of milk
pinch of salt and pepper
knob of butter
1. Crack the eggs into a jug and mix together with a fork. Add salt, pepper, milk and beat again.
2. Put a knob of butter in small frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter starts to melt pour the egg mixture into the centre of the pan and cook for approx 1-2 minutes until egg mixture is set.
3. Cook the omelette for approx 1 further minute then loosen the edges of the egg using a spatula. Lift and fold the omelette in half. Tilt the pan and slide the omelette off onto a warm plate.
Serve with salad or by itself.
I think if you ad a spriz of mandarine into the mixture it gives it an exotic flavour. I usually do that with mine, after I’d exhausted all other ways.
