This is a simple pan method. Stephen uses an omelette maker for his own breakfast; that appliance version needs its own timings and is not the method below.
This recipe is in development. Record your ingredient brands and equipment during testing, and use the cooking checks alongside the suggested timings.

Let’s make it.
- 01
Beat the eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl and beat until the white and yolk are combined. Add black pepper.
- 02
Warm the pan
Heat oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Swirl to coat.
- 03
Cook
Pour in eggs. As the edges set, gently draw them towards the centre with a spatula, tilting the pan so uncooked egg flows into the gaps. Reduce heat if the underside browns too quickly.
- 04
Fill and fold
Scatter cheese over one half. Continue cooking until the egg is set with no runny areas, covering briefly with a lid if needed. Fold over and serve immediately.
