Leek and Sage Cheese Omelette

leek and sage cheese omelette

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius on grill setting

 

Cook leek:

  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small pan and add in the sliced leeks and salt
  • Cook on med-low heat until they are soft and fragrant, set aside.

 

Cook eggs:

  • In the same pan, heat the remaining oil
  • Whisk the eggs together with the sour cream and a good hit of black pepper
  • Pour the egg mix into the heated pan, try not to disturb it until it begins to cook across the bottom of the pan
  • At this point, take your spatula and pull the outside of the egg into the centre of the pan - allowing the uncooked egg to spill over into the space you have created
  • Turn the pan repeating the process 2-3 times
  • Then leave it to cook for 1 minute further and then turn off the heat

 

Add toppings and grill:

  • Top the Omelette with the cooked leeks and 3 slices of the sage cheese
  • Transfer the pan to oven and grill until the cheese is melted
  • Slide the spatula under the omelette loosening it from the bottom of the pan and slide it out onto your plate
  • This part doesn’t always go as planned, but I promise it will taste great even if it doesn’t look perfect! And practice makes perfect! Enjoy!
