Ingredients

Scale

Omelette Mixture

1 tbsp olive or rapeseed oil
8 large eggs, beaten
200g frozen peas
85g mature cheddar, grated

Burger Assembly

4 large burger buns, toasted
4 tbsp onion chutney or chilli jam
handful salad leaves (rocket used)
slices of tomato (optional)
sweet potato wedges (optional), to serve

Instructions

Heat the Oil and Pan: Place a frying pan about 20cm wide on medium heat and add the olive or rapeseed oil, heating it up for a minute to prepare for cooking the eggs.
Add Eggs and Peas: Season the beaten eggs with salt and pepper, then pour them into the pan along with the frozen peas. Quickly stir to distribute the peas evenly within the egg mixture.
Cook Omelette Base: Reduce heat to low-medium and let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 8 minutes until the underside is set and just turning golden brown, ensuring a tender but firm base.
Add Cheese and Grill: Sprinkle the grated mature cheddar evenly over the surface of the omelette. Transfer the pan under a preheated grill set to high and grill for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the top of the omelette is fully set.
Prepare the Buns: While the omelette grills, toast the burger buns until golden. Spread each bun with 1 tbsp of onion chutney or chilli jam to add a burst of flavor.
Assemble the Burgers: Cut the cheesy omelette into four equal wedges and place each wedge on the base of the toasted buns. Add a handful of fresh salad leaves and optional tomato slices, then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve: Serve the cheesy omelette burgers hot, optionally accompanied by sweet potato wedges for a complete meal.

Notes

You can substitute frozen peas with fresh peas or other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for variety.
Grilling time may vary depending on your grill; watch the cheese to avoid burning.
Use a non-stick 20cm frying pan for best results to prevent sticking.
To keep the burgers warm and melty, assemble just before serving.
Sweet potato wedges add a nice contrast but can be omitted for a lighter meal.
