Ingredients

For the dressing:

 

Method

  1. Use a fork or whisk to beat together eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined. Pour into a squeeze bottle and set aside (see tips above).
  2. Heat a pan on medium for at least 3 minutes (you should be able to feel the heat emanating from the pan when you hold a palm 10cm above it).
  3. Add 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and pour in your egg mix in a squiggly 'net' pattern. Keep cooking for around 1½ minutes or until eggs are cooked through.
  4. Pop omelette out onto a plate, add half of your veggie ingredients and herbs onto one side, then fold over to give them an eggy lattice blanket. Continue making egg net omelettes until the egg mixture is used up.
  5. To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk well.
  6. Top the omelettes with more herbs, drizzle with dressing and serve with lime cheeks on the side.
