Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons grated Spanish manchego cheese, plus more for garnish
6 to 8 jarred whole Spanish piquillo peppers
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and mayonnaise until emulsified and smooth. Sprinkle in the manchego cheese. Place the mixture in an 8-ounce microwave-safe bowl or ramekin and microwave until the omelet rises like a soufflé and is cooked, yet slightly runny, 45 seconds to 1 minute.
- On a salad plate, place the Spanish pequillo peppers along the edge in a circle and turn the “omelet” out into the middle. The omelet should run slightly, with an eggy sauce that coats the peppers, but if a more cooked egg texture is preferred, simply microwave for 10 to 15 seconds longer. Garnish with extra grated Manchego and enjoy warm.
