Spicy Omelette Sandwiches

It's Bill Granger's time again. I have the entire collection of his cookbooks. When I run out of ideas on weekend lunches, I just flip through them and check what ingredients I have in my pantry.

Bill Granger's Spicy Omelette Sandwiches Recipe
(Recipe adapted from Bills Open Kitchen)
Serves 2

Ingredients

4 eggs
A large pinch of cumin
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

To Serve
2 soft bap rolls (I use 4 thick slices of Pane De Casa Loaf)
Tomato Salsa (I use marinated chargrilled capsicum and rocket leaves)

Method
  1. Break the eggs into a bowl. Add a tbsp of water and the cumin. Beat lightly with a fork until just combined.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat, add the oil and swirl to coat the base of pan.
  3. Pour in the egg mixture and, as the mixture begins to cook, use a wooden spoon to carefully drag the cooked egg to the centre, allowing the uncooked mixture to flow towards the edges.
  4. Repeat a second time - this will only take a minute. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the omelette is nearly cooked, fold in half and slide out onto a board before cutting in half, lengthways.
  5. Butter the bread slices if desired, and fill with half an omelette, marinated chargrilled capsicum and rocket leaves. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
