Ingredients
-
3 large Eggs (at room temperature)
-
30 milliliters Milk (at room temperature)
-
1 teaspoon Mustard (Dijon or wholegrain, to taste)
-
1 pinch Salt
-
1 pinch Black pepper
-
30 grams Blue cheese (crumbled)
-
30 grams Ham (diced)
-
2 tablespoons Chili crisp (adjust to taste)
-
2 tablespoons Sour cream
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Omelette Mixture: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk and mustard. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy to introduce air, which will make the omelette light and fluffy.
- 2. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Allow it to warm for about 2 minutes until it's evenly heated. Optionally, add a small amount of oil or butter (5g) to coat the bottom of the pan for extra richness.

Cook the Omelette:
Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Swirl the pan gently to ensure even distribution. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set. With a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette, tilting the pan slightly to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Ensure the bottom does not brown too much; adjust the heat if necessary to medium-low.

4.
Add the Filling:
When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the diced ham and crumbled blue cheese evenly over half of the omelette. Drizzle the chili crisp on top of the cheese and ham filling. Allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese starts melting.
Do not overcook, as the omelette should remain soft inside.

5.
Fold and Serve:
Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling using the spatula. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate. Top with a generous dollop of sour cream.
Be gentle to preserve the fluffiness of the omelette during folding and transfer.
Tips and Variations
- Experiment with different cheeses such as feta or goat cheese for varying flavours.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of freshness and colour.
- If you prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of chili crisp or substitute with a milder chili paste.
