Chilli & Cheese Omelette

April 12

My twist on this viral social media trend takes inspiration from the Taiwanese thousand layer scallion pancakes which you can find stuffed with egg, cheese, herbs and hot sauce. A trend worth the hype? I think it might just be!

Method

  1. 1. Whisk together the eggs, green chilli, spring onions, cheese and coriander together until well combined and season with salt and white pepper.
  2. 2. Place a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan and gently fold the sides in until the egg is barely set on top. Add 2 of the bread slices to the top of the egg and flip over to coat in the egg then place back on top. Flip the whole thing so the bread is now on the bottom of the pan and fold the sides of the omelette in, following the lines of the bread. Add sriracha to the top of the egg, if using. Now flip one of the slices over the other so you have formed a sandwich.
  3. 3. Cook for a further 2 minutes on each side until the bread is golden. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve with extra sriracha.
