Preparation time:
10 minutes
Cooking time:
8 minutes
Total time:
18 minutes 20 minutes
Serves:
 4

Ingredients

  • 12 medium eggs
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2-3 heads chicory
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • ½ small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp sherry vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • ½ tsp golden caster sugar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 15g butter
  • 1 tbsp groundnut oil
  • 2 tbsp mixed chopped herbs

Method

  1. Break the eggs into a jug, season and add a dash of cold water. Beat well.
  2. Arrange the outer leaves of the chicory on plates. Quarter the hearts and add these, too. Quarter and deseed the tomatoes, then cut into cubes. Scatter these and the red onion over the chicory. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar and mustard. Season and sprinkle over the salad.
  3. Heat an omelette pan over a high heat with a quarter of the butter and oil until it sizzles, then goes quiet. Add a quarter of the beaten egg and cook, lifting the sides of the mixture with a spatula so that the raw egg runs underneath, and drawing the cooked egg towards the centre. When the underside is golden (after about 90 seconds) and the top is still fairly runny, sprinkle on a quarter of the herbs. Fold the omelette, then slide it out of the pan on to one of the salad plates. Repeat with the remaining egg to make 4 omelettes.
