How to Make Prawn And Chive Omelette

  1. Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork until light and frothy.
  2. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently stir in 2 tablespoons of snipped fresh chives.
  3. If using frozen prawns, ensure they are fully thawed and drained. If using pre-cooked prawns, simply drain them in a sieve.
  4. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the eggs.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges begin to set.
  6. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges of the omelette towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process 5-6 times, creating a soft and fluffy texture.
  7. Once most of the egg is set but still slightly moist, scatter the 100g cooked prawns evenly over the surface of the omelette.
  8. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are heated through and the eggs are fully set.
  9. Season with a little more freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Carefully loosen the edges of the omelette with a spatula.
  11. Gently fold the omelette in half (or into thirds for a larger omelette).
  12. Slide the omelette onto a warm plate and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chives if desired. Enjoy with a side salad for a complete meal!
