Omelette with Double Gloucester Cheese and Chives

A simple two egg omelette topped with roasted Double Gloucester cheese with chives, and served with buttered toasted wheat free bread. 

Beat two eggs thoroughly after adding half a teaspoonful of water to the mixing bowl. Allow to stand. Slice 75 grams of the cheese into squares, or grate it if you prefer (I chose to grate the cheese in this case). Put a little sunflower oil into an omelette pan, and brush evenly over the surface. Once the pan is hot, beat the eggs again, and pour into the pan. Turn down the heat so the omelette does not burn, and cook for two minutes. Cover the surface of the omelette with the cheese.

Remove the pan from the hob and place under a preheated grill. All grills are different, so this part of the process needs to be watched by eye. The pan should be just a couple of inches under the grill element, with the handle facing outwards. Turn  the pan left after a couple of minutes, and then right after a couple more, keeping the handle away from the element as far as possible. Grill until the surface of the omelette is golden brown. 

Serve with buttered wheat free brown bread, black pepper, and brown pickle (Branston pickle in the picture) or ketchup.
