If you have ever tried Omelette Arnold Bennett, you will recognise this recipe. This is our 'Simplified' version.

Use the un-dyed smoked haddock fillet if you can find it. It's much better than the bright yellow dyed variety.

 

INGREDIENTS

 


4 Eggs
4 oz (112 g) Smoked Haddock Fillet
1 Tablespoon Flat Leaf Parsley Chopped
1 Tablespoon Parmesan Cheese Grated
2 Tablespoons Double Cream
Freshly Ground Black Pepper
1 oz (28 g) unsalted Butter
6 Tablespoons (75 ml) Milk

 

PREPARATION

 
Melt half the butter in a large pan and add the milk. Bring it up to simmering point and add the smoked haddock. Poach gently, it should take 5 to 10 minutes to cook, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

Whilst this is going on, beat the eggs together, melt the rest of the butter in a frying pan, and make an omelette in the normal way. Add a little salt if you must, but remember that the haddock will be quite salty.

Flake the Haddock , discarding any bones and skin. Add the parmesan and the double cream,
and some of the  poaching liquid. stir and bring back to a simmer and pour over the cooked omelette.

Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top, together with the ground pepper and serve.
