Quick, healthy and easy to make - top chef Gordon Ramsay shows you how to serve up the perfect vegetarian omelette. See the next page for our step-by-step guide to make this dish.

Serves: 1
Takes: About 10 mins

8 - 10 cherry tomatoes
1tbsp olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper
3 large eggs
Handful of mixed herbs, such as flat leaf parsley, chives and chervil, chopped

1. Halve the cherry tomatoes or cut into quarters and place in a bowl. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick omelette pan and tip in the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and fry over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the tomatoes are just soft but still retaining their shape.
2. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl in the meantime. Scatter the chopped herbs over the tomatoes, then pour in the beaten eggs. Quickly stir and shake the pan to distribute the eggs and ensure they cook evenly. When they are almost set, take the pan off the heat.
3. Fold the omelette, using a heatproof spatula to lift one edge and tipping the pan slightly to make it easier to fold over. Slide onto a warm plate and serve immediately.
