Tomato Spring Onion Omelette Recipes

EASY TOMATO OMELETTE

Steps:

• Wash the tomatoes (and spring onions or chili if you're using them) and chop into small pieces.
• Heat half the oil in a pan and fry the tomatoes for about 2 minutes. Set aside. Clean the pan with a tissue.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well with a fork, adding the salt and pepper
• Heat the rest of the oil in a pan (non-stick if possible) on low to medium heat. Use paper to wipe the oil around a little (or an oil spray if you have it).
• Pour the egg mix into the pan
• Using a spatula, ruffle the omelette so it doesn't stick. As you create gaps tilt the pan so the liquid fills the spaces.
• Let it cook for about 2 minutes and...
• Here's the important part: when the egg mixture looks nearly cooked (but there's still just a tiny bit of runny egg left) drop on the tomatoes and basil (and cheese, spring onions or chili if you're using them).
• Fold the empty half of the omelette on top of the other.
• Slide it onto a plate - the heat from closing the omelette will finish cooking the inside.

TOMATO SPRING ONION OMELETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, Shaoxing, soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar in a bowl with chopsticks or a fork until well combined.
• Heat a well-seasoned wok or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Add spring onion and stir until soft but not coloured (30 seconds to 1 minute), then add tomato and stir until softened (1-2 minutes). Add egg mixture, increase heat to high, and cook until edges begin to set but centre is still wobbly (1-2 minutes). Fold one side over to the centre, then the other, overlapping to form an open-ended envelope. Turn out, scatter with chilli and reserved spring onion and serve with oyster or tomato sauce.

MELTING TOMATO & BASIL OMELETTE

Steps:

• Finely chop the tomato and tip into a bowl with the cheese, basil leaves, spring onion, half the olive oil and some salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining oil in a small, non-stick frying pan, then swirl in the eggs. Cook until done to your liking, then spoon the tomato mix over half of the omelette. Fold omelette over the tomato, leave for about 30 secs, then slide onto a plate. Serve with a salad.
