- 1 tsp turmeric grated root or ground
- 60 g cheddar cheese sliced or grated optional
- 1/2 small leek
- pinch sea salt
- pinch black pepper

Instructions
- Slice leek finely.Heat a small knob of tallow in a small frying pan on a low heat, ideally ceramic or cast iron. Once melted and bubbling add the leek and simmer until golden.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add turmeric and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Beat well with a fork until turmeric mixed in.Add a little more tallow and once melted pour your beaten egg mix into the pan, move the mixture around the pan to spread evenly.
Once the egg mix has began to set, but is still soft on top, place slices of cheese (if using) evenly on your omelette.
