Cheese omelette
As omelettes are so quick and easy to make, it's probably better to make an individual omelette for each person rather than make one huge omelette. Either way, I would not recommend making a single omelette for more that three people as it would not cook properly.

- 2 large free-range eggs
- 50 g ( 2 oz) gruyere cheese, grated

- Splash of cream or milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Method
- Break the eggs into a bowl with the salt, pepper, milk and cheese

- Fry for 2 minutes on this side, pulling the solid edges to the centre with a fork
- Flip over and fry for 1 minute on the other side
