Ingredients

2 whole eggs and 3 egg whites
1 tsp olive oil
1 red pepper , deseeded and finely chopped
2 spring onions , white and green parts kept separate and finely chopped
few slices wafer-thin extra-lean ham , shredded
25g reduced-fat mature cheddar
wholemeal toast , to serve (optional)
1-2 chopped fresh tomatoes , to serve (optional)

Steps:

Mix the eggs and egg whites with some seasoning and set aside. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan and cook the pepper for 3-4 mins. Throw in the white parts of the spring onions and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the eggs and cook over a medium heat until almost completely set.
Sprinkle on the ham and cheese and continue cooking until just set in the centre, or flash it under a hot grill if you like it more well done. Serve straight from the pan with the green part of the spring onion sprinkled on top, the chopped tomato and some wholemeal toast.

Steps:

Swirl thin layer of beaten egg into a pan
sprinkle eggs with chives and let it cook (around 15 seconds)
Run a spatula underneath the omelette and slide it out of the pan (flat) onto a countertop, large cutting board
Spread the pesto across the surface of the omelette (if you have a thick pesto, thin it a bit with water to make it easily spreadable), and then sprinkle with the cheese and salad greens.
Starting with one end, roll the omelette away from you. Cut in half on a deep diagonal. Season with a bit more salt if needed and serve garnished with a few chopped chives.
