A soft omelette filled with ricotta, cheese and fresh basil.

1 tbsp butter
1 handful halal grated hard cheese, optional
2 tbsp halal ricotta
6 leaf basil

Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a frying pan and pour in the eggs.
As the edges set, draw them into the centre with a spatula, then let the surface level out and firm up.
Dot with ricotta, sprinkle over the grated cheese and basil and keep on a low heat until no runny egg remains.
