Method

1 Heat the oil or butter in a 25.5cm (10in) non-stick ovenproof frying pan and fry the onion for 6-8min until golden. Add potatoes and petit pois and cook, stirring, for 2-3min. Preheat the grill.

2 Spread mixture over the pan base and pour in beaten egg. Tilt the pan to coat the base with egg. Leave omelette to cook un-disturbed for 2-3min, then top with cheese.

3 Put the pan under a hot grill for 1-2min or until the egg is just set (no longer, or it will turn rubbery) and the cheese starts to turn golden. Season and serve immediately with a green salad.



EASY WAYS TO JAZZ IT UP
1 Use 100g (3½oz) sundried tomatoes instead of the new potatoes.

2 Throw in a handful of halved pitted black olives as you pour the egg into the pan.

3 Use any melting cheese, such as grated Cheddar, instead of goat's cheese.
