Right seeing as you lot don't know how to make omelettes, here's Wiggy's Dad's recipe.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs (large)
• a frying pan (preferably non-stick)
• some milk
• some ham, cheese, mushrooms, mixed herbs, bacon (smoked or unsmoked, depending on taste)

Method

Beat eggs in a measuring jug, see how much you have in there then add half as much milk to it. (i.e. 2 parts egg, 1 part milk)

Get a frying pan and put a small amount of oil in the bottom, on full heat. If you have mushrooms and bacon, get them in and fry them up until they look cooked. Add your herbs to the egg mixture, stir, then immediately whack it all in the pan. Start moving it around straight away, otherwise it'll all stick horribly to the pan and burn.

As soon as it starts to coagulate, add the ham and move the pan around some more to mix it up. Make sure you keep sticking your spatula in around the edges to make sure it ain't sticking. Don't worry about the bottom, it'll sort itself out.

As the top starts to solidify, flip the whole thing over with your spatula. Don't worry, your omelette should be quite thick, so it shouldn't break. Wiggy does not take any responsibility for omelette breakage

Give it 2 minutes, then flip it back over again to check it looks cooked. If it does, pop it on a plate, and grate some cheese over it. The technical amount here is 'a shitload'. Fold in half. Eat.

If you're faaabulous and like side salads, you can do that too. Just make sure you prepare it before you start cooking.
