Fresh Herb Omelette

This light, tender omelette filled with crispy bacon, wilted greens and two kinds of cheese is exactly the kind of meal I crave when I'm at home alone and feeling like some quick comfort food. You can swap out the fillings to suit whatever you have in the fridge.

Prep time:
5 mins
Cook time:
5 mins
Serves:
1
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp feta, crumbled
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1 rasher streaky bacon, finely diced (optional)
  • 2 handfuls (50g) microgreens, watercress or baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp mozzarella, grated
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chervil or parsley leaves

To serve

  • juice of ½ lemon

Lightly whisk eggs, season with salt and pepper and mix in feta. 

Heat butter in a frypan and sizzle bacon, if using, until starting to crisp. Add half the microgreens, watercress or spinach and stir over medium heat until wilted (about 30 seconds).

Pour egg mixture into pan on top of the bacon and greens, tilting to spread evenly. Loosen a couple of times with a knife or spatula at the start of cooking to allow raw egg to run into the base of the pan.

As the mixture sets, sprinkle with mozzarella and top with the rest of the greens and the chervil or parsley. Cook until the egg is almost set (about another 1 minute), then fold in half, drizzle with lemon juice and serve.

Hi Nicola, Doh! Thanks for pointing out the typo! It definitely does not need 6 tsp of salt - 1/2 tsp is enough!

Looks delicious but just checking, does it really need 6 tsp of salt
