A supper worth singing for

A supper worth singing for This kind of weather makes me yearn for the sort of dishes pulled together from not much really, most likely just what’s in the fridge, served on toast or maybe covered in a cheesy sauce and bubbled up under the grill. Mushrooms on Toast Brunchy type food. Old school holiday stuff. Supper round the fire. No-fuss meals. The kind of thing that hits the spot when hunger makes your stomach cave in, and, importantly, doesn’t take an age to prepare. Omelettes.

Any old mushrooms on toast won't do. I'm after the no-compromise, flavour-packed, cheesy, melty richer-than-rich version. Yeah. Brilliant. Just make these, you’ll have no regrets. Making an omelette I don’t know why people don’t cook omelettes more often.

Omelettes are a fairly broad category because they take in not only the classic[…] (http://sharedkitchen.co.nz/2015/08/making-an-omelette/) French Omelette with Bacon, Crème Fraîche & Chives An omelette is a 2-minute meal, ready when you are. This one’s amazing – salty, tangy, savoury – and really hits the spot. Cheesy Scrambled Eggs Rolled in Soft Tortillas Soft pillows of creamy eggs atop tortillas with a handful of coriander & feta, dotted with chilli sauce, is a great way to say 'Hello there morning!' Roasting tomatoes Slow roast, fast roast, whole or halved, here's the low-down on roasting tomatoes. More
