The Queens Perfect Brunch

Ah, brunch. When breakfast just isn’t enough but lunch is too far away, what a bee to do but eat? With this sensory dish, time won’t matter. It’s a tried and tested family favourite, so don’t worry about those fussy little eaters, they’ll be buzzing for this zinger of an omelette.

Add in a side-salad, and you’ve got yourself a colourful dish fit for a Queen.

Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

6-7 eggs (beaten with a splash of milk)

3-4 apples (spelled and sliced)

1 cup of shredded cheese

3-4 tablespoons of honey (+ more for drizzling)

5-6 fresh basil leaves (sliced thin)

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

Olive oil

Method:

  1. Crack the eggs in a large bowl with a splash of milk, salt and pepper, and get the worker bees to mix together.
  2. In a separate bowl, place the sliced apples, shredded cheese, basil and the delicious Holden Honey Hives honey, and toss.
  3. Heat a round griddle pan with a tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Then, pour enough batter to almost fit the pan and swirl to make the circle even-ish.
  5. When the eggs become firm, gently loosen with a spatula and crarefully flip (if you bumble and it goes wrong, make a beeline to scrambled eggs).
  6. Leave for a few seconds and plate.
  7. If, un-bee-leviably so, you’ve managed to make a perfect omelette, then cover half of the circle with the apple-honey and cheese mixture and then fold over. Top with an extra apple and drizzle with honey.
  8. Bee-hold your bee-licious creation with a delicous cup of coffee or some squash.
