Ingredients
- 8 raw prawns, shelled
- 4 tablespoons garlic-infused oil
- 4 eggs
- 60g / 2.5oz herbed goat’s cheese, crumbled
- 30g / 1oz unsalted butter
- 4 sun-dried tomato halves in olive oil, drained and finely chopped
Instructions
- Butterfly the prawns. Cut three-quarters of the way through each prawn along the back to expose the vein. Remove the vein and open the prawn out flat to resemble a butterfly shape.
- Sear the prawns. Heat the garlic oil in a non-stick frying pan or omelette pan over medium-high heat. Sear the prawns for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
- Beat the eggs. In a bowl, beat the eggs together with the crumbled goat’s cheese until combined.
- Cook the omelette. Wipe the excess oil from the pan and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg and cheese mixture. Cook over medium heat, gently pulling the edges toward the center as it sets, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
- Fill and fold. When the eggs are just set, scatter the seared prawns and chopped sun-dried tomatoes evenly over one half of the omelette. Fold the other half over the filling.
- Serve. Slide onto a warm plate and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a simple side of dressed arugula for a peppery contrast
- Pair with toasted whole-grain bread for a more substantial brunch
- A few extra sun-dried tomatoes on the side add color to the plate
- Serve with a wedge of lemon to brighten the richness of the dish
- A glass of sparkling water with lemon is a refreshing accompaniment
Tips and Variations
- Butterflying the prawns before searing helps them cook quickly and evenly while creating an attractive presentation.
- Herbed goat’s cheese melts beautifully into the eggs and adds a tangy richness. Plain goat’s cheese with a pinch of dried herbs works as a substitute.
- Do not overcook the omelette. It should still be slightly soft in the center when folded, as residual heat will finish the cooking.
- Patting the sun-dried tomatoes dry before chopping prevents excess oil from making the filling too wet.
- This dish is intentionally rich and best served in smaller portions as a special brunch treat rather than an everyday breakfast.
Why This Recipe Works
Searing the prawns separately in garlic-infused oil before adding them to the omelette ensures they develop good color and flavor without overcooking inside the eggs. Beating the goat’s cheese directly into the egg mixture, rather than adding it as a topping, means every bite of the omelette carries its tangy richness. The sun-dried tomatoes provide a concentrated, slightly sweet counterpoint to the savory prawns and cheese, rounding out a dish that eats like a genuine celebration despite its short cooking time.
Storage
Best enjoyed fresh immediately after cooking, as omelettes lose their texture on reheating. If necessary, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and reheat gently in a covered pan over low heat.
