Albanian Omelette

A folded omelette with a soft green pepper and onion filling, spiced with cumin or caraway, finished with melted mozzarella and cheddar and fresh spring onions.

  1. Warm the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onion and green pepper with the cumin or caraway, season with salt and pepper, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Move the filling to a plate and wipe the pan.
  2. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.
  3. Heat the butter in the pan over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, pulling the set edges towards the centre, until the top is just set.
  4. Spoon the filling over one half, scatter over half the cheese, and fold the other half over.
  5. Slide onto a plate, top with the rest of the cheese and the spring onions, and serve straight away.
