Omelette Arnold Bennett
(1)
25 min
An omelette immortalised by the English novelist and theatre critic Arnold Bennett, a frequent visitor to the Savoy Hotel Grill in the 1920s. This healthy, modern version uses grated cheese and low-fat mayonnaise instead of rich béchamel and hollandaise sauces.

- Heat the grill and lightly grease a shallow ovenproof dish. Place the haddock fillet in the dish, spread with half the butter, then grill for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Leave to cool, then remove and discard the skin and separate the flesh into flakes.
- Put the mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl and beat, then fold in the haddock. Melt the remaining butter in a 25cm (10in) omelette pan. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and lightly stir with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste and when the butter begins to bubble, pour the eggs into the butter.
- Gently fork through the egg until thickened, remove the pan from the heat and spread the smoked haddock mixture evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place under a hot grill for about 1 minute until the omelette is golden and bubbling. Remove from the grill and cut into four wedges. Top with watercress and rocket leaves and serve at once.
