Created by Jane de Graaff, this 1 Minute Silky Microwave Omelette is the ultimate proof that good food doesn't need to be complicated.

Just one egg and a spoonful of Japanese mayo whisked together and microwaved for a matter of seconds gives you a silky, protein-packed omelette ready before the kettle's even boiled. It's quick, it's cheap, and it's endlessly customisable with whatever fillings you've got on hand.

  1. In a small jug, whisk together egg and mayonnaise until smooth.
  2. Lightly oil a small microwave-safe ramekin with a little olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and microwave on high for 40 seconds (in a 700-watt microwave). Note: if your microwave is more powerful, it may only take 30 seconds.
  3. Carefully remove the ramekin from the microwave, make sure the omelette is loose and then invert it onto a serving plate.  
  4. Scatter the top with optional toppings of your choice (we recommend grated Parmesan, finely chopped spring onion and a drizzle of chilli crisp oil) and serve.
