Breakfast is a meal without dessert, so I generally prefer to sleep through it. When there is time, I prefer brunch as it combines the best bit of breakfast and lunch. Brunch and holidays go together like al and dente. And this omelette wrap is easy to make, with or without a hangover. As are the muffins, which my cousin Lorraine says you should dust with icing sugar for seasonal effect. Looking at the frost outside, I'm not so sure.
Serves 2
Ingredients
2tbsp olive oil
1tsp runny honey
1tbsp wholegrain mustard
½ lemon, juice only
2tbsp fresh dill, chopped
salt and pepper
15g butter
4 large eggs
75g Edam, grated
55g rocket leaves
125g smoked salmon
90g bag mixed salad leaves
Method
● Pre-heat the grill to medium.
● Whisk the oil, mustard, honey, lemon juice, dill and a little seasoning. Set aside.
● Whisk the eggs lightly, stir in the rocket plus salt and pepper.
● Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan until foaming. Add the egg mixture and sprinkle over the Edam.
● With a wooden spoon gently stir the mixture around the surface of the pan.
● Cook until golden brown underneath. Place under the grill until just set on top.
● Remove the pan from the heat and arrange the salmon over the top. Using a palette knife, roll the omelette over and turn out onto a chopping board.
● Arrange the salad leaves on two plates and drizzle with a little of the dressing.
● Cut the rolled omelette on the slant into equal pieces and place on top of the salad leaves.
● Drizzle over and around the remaining dressing and serve.
