Variations

Spanish omelette: (Pictured) In a large bowl beat 6 eggs with a little salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy-based frying pan. Add 1 thinly sliced onion and chopped Roasted vegetables to form a single layer. Toss while heating then add to egg mixture. Wipe out pan. Add another tablespoon of oil and heat. Add egg and vegetable mixture and immediately turn down heat to the lowest setting. Cook slowly, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, drawing the edges in now and then. When there is barely any liquid egg left on the omelette surface, turn over by placing a flat plate over the top of the pan then inverting pan so omelette falls onto the plate. Gently return omelette to pan then cook for about 2 more minutes. Turn off heat and leave for 5 minutes to settle. Serve hot or cold in cut wedges.
