Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs medium (I used 2 and 2 egg whites)
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • to taste salt
  • 2 tsp fresh chopped coriander
  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tbsp butter/ oil
  • 1 onion , thinly sliced or chopped
  • 3/4 cup vegetables
  • 1/4 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 2 tbsps cheddar cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Break eggs into a bowl. Add the milk, corn starch, black pepper, chilli flakes, chopped coriander and salt. Beat well with a fork till blended.
  • In a non-stick skillet, heat the oil. Saute onions till golden. Add the vegetables, except the bell peppers/ capsicum. Sprinkle a little salt and stir-fry till almost done. With your spatula, spread the vegetables so they cover the base of the pan evenly. Sprinkle the chopped bell peppers/ capsicum evenly over this and pour the egg mixture in. Turn the heat down. Cover the pan and let the omelet cook slowly. Make sure the underside does not burn.
  • When the top has set, slide the tortilla onto a plate and then back into the skillet so the other side cooks. After a minute or so, slide the tortilla back onto the plate again and back, once again into the skillet and sprinkle the cheese over it. Take it off the heat.
  • Served warm (with or without tomato ketchup) alongside wholemeal toast and fruit, this tortilla is a complete meal. Hope you enjoy it.
