Eggs are a most versatile food and one that can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch or supper. They contain protein as well as some vitamins and minerals. The filling consists of mangetout, a green vegetable, and ham, providing some more protein.

Ingredients:

• 75 g (3 oz) mangetout
• 50 g (2 oz) cooked ham
• 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh dill
• 3 large eggs
• 5 ml (1 tsp) olive or safflower oil
• freshly ground black pepper

Cooking instructions:

Lightly cook the mangetout and shred the ham. Whisk the eggs with a little water or milk and some freshly ground black pepper – and salt if you wish. Add the dill to the whisked eggs. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the eggs. Cook until the omelette is set. During cooking, arrange the mangetout and ham on the omelette. Fold over the omelette and cut in half. Serve on individual plates garnished with a sprig of dill and a wedge of wholemeal bread.
