Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potato chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Vegetable oil
- 8 large eggs
- Butter for frying
- Rocket (arugula), Spam, and Tomatoes chopped, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to fan assisted 180C / 200C / 400F / gas 6 and place sweet potato on one-half of a lined tray and the okra on the other half.
- Keeping the vegetables separate, as they cook at different rates, season with salt and pepper and coat them with some oil.
- Bake in the oven for about 20 mins for the okra and 25 min for the sweet potato making sure to turn them half way through cooking.
- Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the SPAM pieces for about 5 mins turning them so they are crispy on all sides and set aside.
- Break the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk the eggs with a fork until well mixed.
- Heat an 8 inch frying pan over medium heat and melt a small knob of butter until melted and sizzling.
- Add a quarter of the egg mixture, immediately tilting the pan so the mixture spreads evenly over the pan.
- Cook for up to 2 mins until the omelette firms up, the edges are crispy but it still looks slightly wet on top (as the omelette will keep cooking for a little while).
- Transfer the omelette unto a plate and serve immediately topped with a generous portion of roast vegetables, crispy spam, rocket and tomatoes.
- Repeat three more times with the remaining eggs and each time serve as soon as the omelette is cooked.
