Ingredients:
1 tsp olive oil
2 small shallots, finely chopped
20g chorizo, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 egg white
a small pinch of sea salt (optional - the chorizo will add plenty of flavour)
a pinch of ground black pepper
20g Cheddar cheese, grated (use dairy free if preferred)
Serves 1
Method:
Heat half of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
Add the chorizo and shallots and fry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Transfer to a plate.
Whisk the eggs, egg white, salt and pepper in a jug.
When cool, wipe the base of the frying pan with kitchen roll, to remove any debris.
Place the frying pan back over a medium heat.
Add the remaining oil and tilt the pan to spread the oil around.
Pour the eggs into the pan.
Cook for 3-4 minutes undisturbed, until the centre of the omelette is quite firm.
Distribute the cooked shallots and chorizo over one half of the omelette.
Top with the cheese.
Cook for 4 minutes undisturbed, or until the omelette is nearly cooked.
Carefully slide a spatula underneath the omelette and fold in half.
Turn off the heat and leave the omelette in the pan for 3-4 minutes, to continue cooking.
Serve.
Consume immediately.
