Serves: 2

Cook time: Less than 10 mins

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs (201g)
  • 1 courgette, grated (158g)
  • Handful of chopped fresh chives (17g)
  • Small knob of butter (36g)
  • 100g smoked salmon (100g)

 

Method:

  1. Beat eggs in a bowl with a little water, mix in courgette and chives and season.
  2. Melt a little butter in a small, non-stick frying pan. When hot, add half the egg mixture and cook for 1 minute, stirring until the egg is beginning to set in places. Scatter evenly with half smoked salmon trimmings. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until the egg is golden underneath, and just set on top. Slide out onto a serving plate, folding it over as you go. Repeat.
  3. Scatter a few chopped chives over each omelette and serve with a crisp, green salad.
