Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 small can (about 85g) canned tuna
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly and set it aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly across the surface.
As the edges of the omelette begin to set, use a spatula to slightly lift them, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the drained tuna over one half of the omelette.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the tuna layer.
Drizzle the ketchup over the cheese layer to taste.
Gently fold the unfilled half of the omelette over the filled side using a spatula. Press down gently to seal.
Let the omelette cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the cheese melts and the omelette is cooked through.
Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve warm.
