Breakfast

There are so many rules and ways of making a good omelet. Most of these methods in my opinion, come down to a personal preference. For me, I like soft runny scrambled eggs over well-cooked bhurji style, and a soft omelet that has not browned too much.

For me, this below method is the best way to make an omelet – it is soft, delicate, easy to make. The filling is the star here – pumpkin with fresh sage, some garlic and some delicious manchego cheese. The secret to a good cooked fulling is to shred/grate the raw pumpkin – helping it took cook with ease, wuicker, with less fat required and it picks up the other flavours even better. When I got my hands on some fresh sage – I had to make this asap. Another secret for the best tasting pumpkin – a pinch of cinnamon!

The Recipe
Serves

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tbsp cold water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2-3 sage leaves
  • a few shavings of your preferred cheese (manchego, parmesan, grana Padano)
  • Filling:
  • ½ cup shredded pumpkin
  • 2 tsp butter
  • ½ tsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3-4 sage leaves, chopped
  • pinch of cinnamon

Instructions

  • Filling:
  • In a small sauté pan melt the butter and add the garlic to cook until golden
  • Then add the pumpkin, salt, sage and cinnamon and cook for 10 minutes or so until pumpkin is softened and fragrant
  • Set aside
  • Omelet
  • Take a small omelet pan and place 1 tbsp butter in it – with the heat off
  • In a small bowl, crack the two eggs and add cold water and whisk well
  • Then turn on the heat spread the butter quickly
  • Once the butter has coated the pan, immediately pour the eggs into the pan and spread it out
  • Allow it set, checking the edges with a spatula – then sprinkle the salt and pepper on top
  • Once the eggs are 70% set, place the filling in the center in a line, topping with cheese
  • Gently fold over one side of the omelet over it, and then fasten with the other side – use two spatulas if you need the help
  • Gently roll the omelet down with the joint side facing down to cook for a few more seconds
  • Gently transfer the omelet into serving plate
  • In the same pan add some more butter and fry the sage leaves until crispy and put it on top of the omelet
  • Serve this omelet with a side salad

Butter + Jam Bread Pudding

This is my easy-peasy kid’s breakfast morning recipe. It works wonders with all age groups though and I have once added rum-soaked raisins as well, or hints of orange zest, an added lashing of brandy, sometimes allspice, sometimes frozen berries for a red jolt. I’ve never made anything easier, that made a huge impact. When I serve this in the morning, I also pair it with hot chocolate and create a bar with toppings – caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, nuts, sprinkles, chai spices, maple syrup and whipped cream – which work as toppings for both items. And let me tell you, the kids have a jolly good time!

This is a delicious quick meal that can be had at any time of the day and perhaps one of my most favourite. Once I had an olive baguette that I used, and ever since, I’ve been adding olives into the egg batter. The dash of Worcestershire sauce is like a Welsh rarebit recipe – and adds a dash of oomph. Lots of herbs and chilies and then the best part is – lots of cheese on top – until nice golden and crispy! Eat as is, with sides of ketchup or hot sauce, some Dijon works too!

Whenever I get my hands on a packet of fresh herbs I like to use them up in all ways possible before they get spoilt. Sage is one of my favourite – goes in eggs, pastas, potatoes, cocktails, into a syrup, on fruit with some salt and sugar – the possibilities are endless. But my honest favourite way is pairing sage with pumpkin – a match made in true heaven. I sauté up the pumpkin slices with garlic, leeks and then the sage is added in for its delightful warm, peppery delicious flavours. The egg batter goes in with some peas and cheese and always, always a pinch of nutmeg to make a delicious frittata. I have this for dinner multiple times a month – but if you have a brunch party – go ahead whip this one up!
