Ingredients
Method
6 steps- 1Separate the eggs: whites into a clean, dry steel bowl, yolks into a cup with the salt. Stir the yolks smooth.
- 2Whisk the whites with a hand mixer until stiff and glossy.
- 3Fold the yolks into the whites with a spatula in a few wide strokes.
- 4Melt the butter in a nonstick pan on the lowest flame. Spoon in the foam as one tall mound, cover and cook.
- 5Lay the cheese over one half, fold the omelette over it, cover again for a minute.
- 6Slide onto a warm plate, scatter spring onion and add a line of ketchup. Eat straight away.
Serve it like this
Serve on a warm flat plate the moment it leaves the pan, folded side up, with ketchup in a thin zigzag.
