Work quickly: whisk the eggs until really fluffy and pour into pan immediately. Give them a few seconds not long then gently drag a wooden spoon through the mix just shifting the egg around without stirring you are just wanting to move the egg around so it can cook evenly and keep the mix fluffy. You may need to shake the pan a little so the uncooked egg moves into the gaps. When it’s almost cooked sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and chopped basil and place lid on pan and remove from the heat. Allow sit and continue cooking and allow the cheese to melt or pop under a hot grill.
While it is resting place the cucumber, snow peas and spinach on the side of the plate. Check you omelette it should be done now and easy to flip in half and slide onto your plate.
Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and pine nuts drizzle with a little Village Press extra Virgin Olive Oil and serve.
