How to make this Bacon and Cheese Omelette
Step 1
Place a non stick frying pan on a medium to heat heat and cut the bacon into strips. Once the bacon is cut then add to the hot pan and
leave for a minute or two before moving.
Step 2
Beat the eggs in a bowl and add the Lemon Chilli Pepper. cut the cheese into strips and stir the bacon around the pan.
Step 3
Add the egg mixture to the pan and swirl around ensuring all the bacon is covered. Using a non stick spatula gently push the edges of the omelette to avoid a thin edge that will stick to the pan. To see what I mean watch the video above.
Step 4
Add the strips of cheese to the omelette and continue to cook for a few minutes. If you have a chefs blowtorch then you can use this to help melt the cheese and cook the top of the omelette.
Step 5
The omelette cooked when it is firm but still has a soft almost runny centre. Once it looks like this simply slide it onto a plate and garnish with the chives.
