Cheddar, Broccoli and Red Chilli Soufflé Omelette, Garlic roasted Cherry Plum Tomatoes, Olive Oil

#mysterybag2 So...this morning I went to the gym early, then off to the shops for my weekly shop, after which I was delighted to find I had purchased most of the 2nd Mystery Bag ingredients!

Ingredient

egg whites, whisked to firm peak stage. You should be able to tip the bowl up!

whole egg, 3 yolks, stirred together

A few

broccoli florets, steamed or boiled until al dente then roughly chopped

Cherry Plum Tomatoes, halved on the diagonal

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Whisk the egg whites to firm peak stage, stir together the whole egg and yolks, slice the red chilli, steam and roughly chop Broccoli and prep the other ingredients.

* Step 2

Heat the grill to medium.

* Step 3

Melt the butter over a low heat in a medium sauté pan. Add a drizzle of Olive Oil to a COLD small sauté pan (this is important due to the low smoke-point of Olive Oil which shouldn’t be heated to a hot heat), place the slivers of garlic and halved tomatoes face down in the oil and heat very gently until the garlic is golden and the tomatoes are lightly softened. Remove from heat once done.

* Step 4

Stir one large spoonful of whisked egg white into the yolks and fold with a large, flat metal spoon to loosen. Pour this mix into the whisked egg whites along with 2/3 of the grated cheddar, chilli and broccoli. Fold gently together and once combined pour into the bubbling melted butter in the medium sauté pan. Give a gentle shake to spread the mixture to the edges but don’t spread with a spoon or the air will be squashed out.

* Step 5

Cook over a low heat until the bottom is set and, when the edge gently lifted, is browning. Sprinkle the Omelette with some dried Chilli drakes and the red the remaining grated Cheddar. Place under a medium grill until set and golden.
