Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Cooked potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 0.5 cup Leek (white and light green parts, thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Irish cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter has melted, add the sliced leeks and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the diced cooked potatoes to the skillet and stir gently. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned and heated through.
Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and leeks in the skillet. Tilt the skillet so the eggs spread evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded Irish cheddar cheese evenly over the omelet. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese has melted.
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half. Slide it onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
