🍳 Welsh Cheddar, Tomato & Ham Breakfast Omelette
A simple, delicious classic from the kitchen at Plas Tan-Yr-Allt.

Ingredients

3 Free Range Organic Welsh eggs
A handful of sharp Artisan Welsh Cheddar (grated)
1 small vine tomato (diced, seeds removed)
1 thick slice of Artisan Welsh ham (shredded)
1 k**b of salted Welsh butter
Fresh chives (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep the eggs: Whisk the eggs thoroughly in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Heat the pan: Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until sizzling.
3. Cook the base: Pour in the eggs. Let them sit for a few seconds, then gently lift the edges with a spatula, tilting the pan to let the raw egg run underneath.
4. Add fillings: When the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy, scatter the shredded ham, diced tomatoes, and grated Cheddar over one half of the omelette.
5. Fold and serve: Fold the empty half over the fillings to create a crescent. Let it cook for another 30 seconds until the cheese melts, then slide it onto a warm plate. Garnish with fresh chives.

Tip: Removing the seeds and watery centre from the tomato keeps the omelette fluffy and stops it from getting soggy.

☀️ SUMMER IS HERE! ☀️

I am delighted to share my latest piece, inspired by the very things I associate and love most about summer. 📜✨

This new illustration brings my words to life alongside our historic home, Plas Tan-Yr-Allt. 🏡🌹 From cricket on the green and hometown Wimbledon to peaceful afternoon naps, it captures my favourite traditions of the season. 🍓🎾

I hope it brings a touch of summer warmth to your day and evokes your own fond memories of this magnificent time of year! 🌿☀️

Summer is Here!

Strawberries and cream, ‘Love-15’,
Cricket matches on the green!
Gentle breezes and pollen sneezes!
Buckets, spades, parasols for shade.
Ice cream faces, and sports day races!
Brass bands swinging, our ‘Vera’ singing.
Feet all tapping, and Granddad napping!
Donkey rides, jellied eels on the side.
‘Kiss Me Quick’ hats, and kiddies' spats!
Bumblebees and leafy trees,
Dragonflies and cobalt skies.
A woodpigeon's coo, distinctive and true.
Long hot days, and misty haze.
The best time of year - For Summer is Here!
