This fluffy cheese and ham omelet is light, golden and packed with flavour. Made with eggs, Western Star butter, cheddar cheese, ham and chives, it’s a quick and satisfying meal idea. Serve with roasted cherry tomatoes and baby spinach for an easy breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1 tbsp milk
2 tsp Western Star Original Butter
¼ cup finely grated cheddar cheese
3-4 slices shaved leg ham
1 tbsp thinly sliced chives
Roasted cherry tomatoes & baby spinach leaves, to serve

Method

Whisk the eggs and milk in a jug with a fork.
Place the butter in a non-stick fry pan (base measurement 20cm) over a medium heat. Once the butter has melted, pour in the egg mixture, and tilt the pan slightly to cover the base with egg mixture.
Cook for about 2 to minutes or until the egg is starting to set on top but remains slightly runny. Sprinkle over some of the chives. Place the ham on half of the omelette and sprinkle with cheese and more chives.
Use a heatproof rubber spatula to run around edges and underneath omelette to loosen then fold over filling and slide onto a plate.
Serve the omelette immediately sprinkled with remaining chives with roasted tomatoes and spinach leaves.

Tips & Hints

If there is a lot of uncooked egg on top, use your spatula to gently spread some of it to the edges.
Roast or pan fry some cherry tomatoes on the vine until beginning to blister to serve with omelette.
Try using other filling ingredients like chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, cooked chopped bacon or roasted capsicum strips!
