Ingredients
3 large British Lion eggs
10g unsalted butter
5-6 pickled jalapeño chillies, finely chopped
50g Mexican chilli cheese, grated
1 tbsp soured cream, to serve
For the salsa:
200g baby plum tomatoes
½ red onion, finely diced
½ red chilli, finely diced
1 lime, juiced
20ml olive oil
2 tbsp coriander, chopped
Salt and pepper
Method
- Make the salsa: in a mini blender, add the tomatoes, onion, chilli, coriander and blitz for a few seconds. Season and dress with lime juice and olive oil.
- Beat the eggs and season well with salt and pepper. Stir through the pickled jalapeños.
- Place the butter in a medium hot non-stick pan. Add the eggs, folding as you go. Sprinkle over the grated cheese as the omelette begins to set. Take from the heat when the omelette is nearly set, and fold before turning onto a serving plate.
- Serve the omelette with some of the salsa and a dollop of soured cream. Scatter with more chopped coriander if liked.
