Serves: 1
Difficulty: Medium
Ingredients
- •4 large eggs
- •1 pinch salt
- •1 pinch ground black pepper
- •2 tbsp milk
- •1 pinch ground nutmeg
- •2 tbsp butter or olive oil
- •3 thin slices of ham , cut in small squares
- •1 handful roughly chopped fresh kale
- •6 thin 8-cm (3-inch)-wide slices of Gruyère cheese
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, pepper, milk and nutmeg, until even and glossy.
- 2Place half the butter in the skillet on medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat evenly with butter.
- 3Add ham and cook until deep brown.
- 4Stir in kale for 30 seconds, or until slightly wilted but still crunchy. Set aside the ham and greens.
- 5Add the remainder of the butter to the skillet over low heat.
- 6Pour egg mixture into the skillet, moving skillet to create a flat, even layer. Heat until the eggs have begun to set, with some fluff on top.
- 7Scatter the ham and kale evenly over the top of the eggs.
- 8Lay the Gruyère slices over the open omelet. Heat until the edges of the cheese have melted slightly.
- 9Gently push the edges of the omelet less than half a centimeter toward the center of the skillet with two spatulas, making sure not to break it. Turn the heat off.
- 10Use the spatulas to lift half the omelet and fold over the other half. Move the entire omelet carefully onto a plate and serve.
Camp tips
- • Keep perishables at 40°F (4°C) or below in a monitored cooler. Discard food left above that temperature for over 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use potable water, wash hands, and pack out scraps. Never cook inside a tent. Check local fire restrictions.
