The Perfect Breakfast ….. if you happen to like a proper breakfast….. 

1        Onion

1        Tomato

4        Fresh Eggs

Cheese (Friends of mine have since tried Mascarpone, yogurt, Ricotta…..)

Fresh Herbs – I particularly like Mint and Thyme, but you could consider Parsley, etc..

Olive Oil

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Chop onion and tomato into small chunks.

Heat Olive Oil in large base frying pan.

Add Onion and cook (this on a relatively high fire - I use 8 on electric) – normally about 3 minutes

Add Tomatoes and leave to cook - for about 3 to 4 minutes (on a lower heat - I use 6 on electric)

While this is being cooked, beat the eggs and grate cheese. Add herbs at this stage also.

Add cheese to egges and  into the frying pan to the onions and tomato mix. Lightly stir in cover with lid – cook on low fire - I use 6 on electric but could be lower if you have time and if you prefer your omelettes humid (like only the Spanish seem to be able to do…..).

You should aim for a humid looking finish. Don’t let the eggs cook dry. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes.

I don’t add salt, as you can always add this after to taste. If you use a chedder type cheese, you probably will not need salt at all.

Serve with fresh bread……better with a good brown bread.

Best with fresh coffee…..

Best on Saturday & Sunday, when you have time to cook and enjoy it.
