Ingredients
- 3 medium free-range eggs
- 2 tbsp semi-skimmed milk
- 2 tsp butter
- 1 tsp sunflower oil
- Salt and pepper to season
- A handful of fresh spinach
- Cayenne pepper
- 100g closed cup white mushrooms (sliced)

Dietary Suitability

Method
- To make a start on the omelette, whisk together your eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a bowl and set to one side. Gently heat the teaspoon of butter, along with the sunflower oil in a non-stick frying pan, swirling them together as the butter melts to ensure the entire pan is coated.
- Once the butter has melted, pour the egg mix into the pan, swirling again to completely coat the pan. Using a spatula, push the egg mix from the sides of the pan towards the middle, then tilt the pan so that raw egg mix from the centre fills the gap - this will allow for an even cook. The omelette needs to be cooked for 2-3 minutes
- Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the remaining butter on a medium heat and add the sliced mushrooms. After the mushrooms have been cooking for 2 minutes, add the spinach and Cayenne pepper. Cook for a further minute until the spinach begins to wilt.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of Ballymaloe Relish to one half of your omelette. Then add the filling to the top of your omelette before folding over and sliding onto a warm plate. Add a generous dollop of Ballymaloe Relish to complement the subtle flavours of the omelette.
