Ingredients

3 Eggs
2 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Tararua Butter
1 Handful Baby Spinach
50g Courgette Ribbons
2 tbsp Ricotta
1/2 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Chopped Mint Leaves
½ tsp Red Chilli, Finely Chopped

Method

1. In a bowl beat eggs, water & salt until well blended.

2. Heat butter in pan over medium-high heat until hot, tilt to coat the bottom.

3. Gently push cooked portions from the edges toward the centre with a heat proof spatula so that the uncooked eggs can reach the hot surface. Continue cooking, tilting the pan and gently moving cooked portions as needed.

4. When the top surface of the omelette is starting to set, scatter over the spinach, courgette, ricotta, lemon zest, mint & chilli and fold the omelette in half using a spatula.

5. Place a plate over the omelette pan and invert onto the plate. Lightly season the top with salt & pepper and serve immediately.
