The ricotta adds a luxurious creamy texture to this omelette, with the mint giving it a fresh flare, matched with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp ghee
  • 3 eggs
  • 60 g (¼ cup) firm ricotta, crumbled
  • 30 g frozen peas
  • small handful of greens (rocket, baby spinach or chopped kale)
  • 1 tbsp torn mint leaves
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • lemon wedge, to serve

Instructions

  1. Melt the ghee in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk the eggs and pour into the pan, swirling it around so it reaches the edges. After around 30 seconds when the eggs are just starting to set but are still undercooked, scatter the ricotta, peas, greens and torn mint leaves evenly over the egg, then flip one side over so it forms a half moon.
  3. Transfer the omelette to a plate and season generously with salt and pepper. Serve with a wedge of lemon.
