Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 aubergine, sliced

1 small onion, sliced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 large courgette, sliced

1 red pepper, cored and cut into strips

2 tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

6 eggs

2 tablespoons cold water

25g butter

75ml heavy cream

75g Gruyere cheese grated

 

Heat the oil in a skillet under medium heat. Sauté the onions until they are translucent. Add the tomatoes, aubergine, courgette and red bell pepper. Cover and cook it until the vegetables are soft, around 15-20 minutes. Season it with salt and pepper.

Place the eggs and the cold water in a medium sized bowl and whisk well. Add the cooked vegetables.

Melt the butter in a deep oven proof frying pan or you can melt the butter and pour it into a shallow baking dish. Place the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan and cook it for 3-5 minutes or until the egg sets. Top the omelette with cream and sprinkle with grated cheese. Place the pan in the oven for 5-8 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and turns golden brown. Remove from heat and let it stand for 3 minutes before serving. Transfer to a plate and serve warm.
