Lindare Omlettes


These omelettes bring back some memories!  I named them after "Lindare House" which is the name of the Hostel of the Boarding School that I used to go to many years ago.  I always remember, we (the boarders) used to get these omelettes while the teachers got cheese ones.  We always wanted the cheese ones.  Now, I make these for my children, who also love them, and every time I make / eat one I can't help but smile. 

I know that people make their omlettes differently but this is the way I make them.  I think a good non stick pan is essential when making omlettes.  Enjoy

FOR THE FILLING

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Oil
1/4 Onion, diced
1 x Tablespoon Herbs, dried
1 x Teaspoon Garlic, diced
2 x Rashers Bacon, sliced
1 x Large Potato, peeled and cubed

Method:

Heat the oil in a pan.
Add the potatoes and cook for about 8 - 10 mins.

Remove from heat and drain the oil.


The filling
 FOR THE OMLETTE

Ingredients:

3 x Eggs

Method:

Whisk the eggs.
Heat some of the oil you drained from the filling (about 2 x Tablespoons) into a non stick pan.
Add the whisked eggs.
Leave for about 2 minutes so that the egg starts to cook.
Gently swirl the pan around so that the middle bit of egg moves around the pan.
When the egg is done spoon the filling onto one side.
Fold over, transfer to a plate and serve.

I added bacon to this particular omlette although we never used to have bacon in them back in the day.  It was always just onion and potato.
