This is great for a solo breakfast or a 10-minute supper and it travels well, too. If you have any leftover veg that needs eating – a bit of broccoli, the end of a zucchini, half a capsicum – chop it up and add to the mushrooms as they fry. Use a wide, ovenproof frypan, so that the pizza omelette is thin and sets in just a few minutes. Serve with rocket, or any leaves, dress with lemon juice and olive oil, says Melissa.

10g butter or ghee
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
150g mushrooms, thinly sliced (we used Swiss brown)
1 tsp dried herbs (such as oregano or thyme)
3 eggs
4 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 handful finely grated parmesan
Torn pitted kalamata olives, basil leaves, rocket, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil & dried chilli flakes, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat the oven grill to high heat. Melt butter in an 18cm ovenproof frypan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add mushrooms and dried herbs, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes or until mushrooms have released their liquid and are turning golden.
2.

Meanwhile, whisk eggs and season, then pour into pan, swirling pan to evenly coat. Add tomato, skin-side down, spacing out evenly. Cook, without stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until bottom of omelette is set. Scatter omelette with parmesan and grill, checking regularly, for 2-3 minutes or until golden.
3.

Tip omelette onto a serving plate and scatter with olives and basil. Toss rocket lemon juice and oil together in a bowl. Serve everything immediately with dried chilli flakes alongside.
