Although the French coined the term omelette
in the sixteenth century, various incarnations of egg “pancakes”
filled with meat or vegetables and seasonings have existed since
ancient times. Here is a recipe with a distinct Welsh flavour.
5 large Welsh eggs
100g mushrooms
15g Welsh butter
1 tablespoon laver bread
1 tablespoon chopped chives
50g of either Teifi, Aeron Valley, Caws Cenarth or any Welsh farmhouse
cheese grated
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Melt the butter in an omelette or frying pan and add the sliced
mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes, meanwhile break the eggs into a
bowl and whisk with 3 tablespoons of water. Add the laver bread
and chives and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and pour
over the cooked mushrooms. Leave to cook over a moderate heat
and finish off under a hot grill until the eggs are just set.
Sprinkle the omlette with the Teifi cheese and fold over. Serves
2. Welsh Brunch Omelette in Welsh is Omled Brecinio Cymreig.
