few slices wafer-thin extra-lean ham shredded
3 slices
red pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
1
spring onions white and green parts kept separate, and finely chopped
2

25 g

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the whole eggs and egg whites with a pinch of seasoning. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped red pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Stir in the white parts of the spring onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook over medium heat, occasionally drawing the edges toward the center, until the eggs are almost completely set.

Sprinkle the shredded ham and cheddar cheese over the surface. Continue cooking until the center is just set, or briefly place the pan under a hot grill if you prefer the top to be golden and firm.

Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with the green parts of the spring onions. Serve immediately with chopped fresh tomatoes and wholemeal toast on the side.
