Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked haddock — Ensure the haddock is fully cooked before flaking it into the omelette. This will enhance the smoky flavor and prevent any raw fish taste.
- Cheddar and Gruyere cheese — Use good quality cheese for a rich and flavorful cheese sauce. Grate the cheese yourself for better melting and texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some finely chopped spring onions or chives on top of the omelette before serving.
- If you prefer a milder cheese flavor, you can use only cheddar cheese in the sauce.
- Serve the omelette with a side of mixed greens or a fresh salad to balance the richness.
Serving advice
Serve the Omelette Arnold Bennett hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into wedges and plate them individually. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, you can drizzle a small amount of the cheese sauce over the top of the omelette before garnishing with parsley. This will create an enticing visual appeal.
