OMELETTE IN A BUN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a small non-stick frying pan and fry the potato over a low heat until it is browned and tender, this will probably take about 10 mins in all. Add the spring onion and fry for a minute then stir in the spinach.
• Whisk the eggs lightly with a little seasoning and then pour them into the pan and cook until set on the base. Dot on the tomatoes, sprinkle on the cheese and grill until the top browns. Cool a little then slide out of the pan and cut into thirds.
• Split the rolls and stuff them with a piece of omelette, sandwich together and halve.

OMELET-IN-A-HOLE 3 WAYS

Steps:

• For the toast and eggs: Neatly remove the centers of the bread slices, leaving a 1/2-inch rim inside the crust (reserve the bread centers for another use). Lightly beat the eggs in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• For the Denver omelet: Add the ham and bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly browned and the pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust. Split the ham and vegetable mixture between the crusts. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with the remaining egg mixture. Cover with a lid or foil and cook for 5 minutes. Flip the toasts and cook until the egg is set, another 3 minutes. Transfer each to a separate plate cheese-side up and sprinkle with the chives.
• For the spinach omelet: Add the spinach and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and the bell pepper is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust. Split the spinach mixture between the crusts. Top each with 1/4 cup cheese, then top with the remaining egg mixture. Cook as above, then garnish with the basil instead of the chives.
• For the sausage and mushroom omelet: Add the mushrooms and sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is completely browned and the mushrooms are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Reduce the heat to low. Fit the bread crusts into the skillet. While holding down the bread to create a seal and barrier, pour about a quarter of the egg mixture into the center of each crust.
