Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 100 grams plant-based ham slices
- 50 grams grated cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again to incorporate fully.
Chop the plant-based ham slices into small pieces, roughly 1 cm in size.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted and begins to sizzle, add the chopped plant-based ham to the skillet. Sauté them for about 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly crispy.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it covers the entire base evenly.
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs.
Use a spatula to gently push the edges of the omelette towards the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the chopped chives evenly over the omelette.
Fold the omelette in half with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked to your desired level.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot.
