Spring Onion And Pancetta Omelette Recipes

SPRING ONION AND PANCETTA OMELETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the eggs well; melt the butter with the oil in a 20cm non-stick pan over a medium-high heat. Swirl around the pan, increase heat, then pour in the eggs.
• Swirl around the pan, then leave for a few secs so the eggs begin to set. Using a fork, pull the mix into the middle from the edge, so that raw egg runs into gaps.
• Continue until the base is almost set (the top will still seem a bit runny). Either fold and serve at this stage for a plain omelette, or add your filling ingredients.
• Fry the pancetta for a few mins, until it releases some fat. Add some spring onions and fry for a couple of mins. When the omelette is ready, spoon in the pancetta and spring onions, then scatter over Gruyère

• Take the pan off the heat and add the contents to the egg mix. Mix until combined.
• Put the frying pan used for earlier in the recipe back onto a medium heat and pour in the egg mix.
• Cook until the bottom of the omlette is golden brown, make sure you use a spatula to release the omlette's edges from the pan to prevent burning the sides of the egg mixture.
• Put the frying pan into a preheated oven, set at 250 degrees *C and cook until the omlette is puffed and starting to turn golden brown.
• Top the cooked omlette with small slices of mozerella and cook until the cheese is melted.

SPRING ONION, PEA & PANCETTA TART

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unravel the sheet of puff pastry on its baking parchment and slide onto a large baking tray. Score a border about 1cm from the edge all the way around the pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through. Prick the middle all over with a fork, then bake for 15 mins until puffed up and golden. Tip the spring onions onto a small baking tray, drizzle with the oil and season. Roast these alongside the pastry for the final 5 mins of cooking time.
• Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a small frying pan set over a medium heat until golden. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Mix the soft cheese, chopped herbs, egg yolk, half the parmesan and the mustard together and season well. Gently squash the middle of the tart base down using the back of a spoon, then spread over the soft cheese mixture. Scatter the defrosted peas and pancetta over the soft cheese mixture, then arrange the roasted spring onions on top. Sprinkle over the remaining parmesan and return to the oven for 10 mins. Scatter with the remaining whole-leaf herbs, then slice and serve.
