Chocolate, Pear & Ginger Omelette



blank imageServes 1 - Recipe by Howard Helmer

Ingredients

  • 2 size 6 or 7 Henergy eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 tablespoon butter or vegetable oil
  • 2 pear halves, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped crystallised ginger

Method

  1. Beat eggs and water together in a small bowl until mixture is well blended.
  2. In a non-stick frying pan, heat butter or oil until it sizzles - but NOT smoking.
  3. Pour in the mixture - which should begin to bubble and steam as the water evaporates.
  4. With an inverted spatula pull cooked portions of egg from the perimeter of the pan to the centre so any uncooked egg can flow into and reach the hot surface, tilting the pan and moving it as necessary.
  5. Do this around the pan until the egg starts to set and covers the whole bottom of the pan but is still moist on top, it should take about 20 seconds.
  6. Arrange the pears on top and drizzle with the melted dark chocolate.
  7. Place the cream cheese in the middle and sprinkle with the ginger.
  8. Holding the pan in your right hand and a plate in your left hand, tip the pan so the omelette slides gently onto the plate (left handed people use opposite hands).

Cooking tips

Be careful not to over cook the omelette so that it becomes dry. The moist egg mixture will continue to cook when the toppings are added so it is important not to initially over cook the omelette.
