Cooking instructions
For the haddock
- Bring 400ml milk to a simmer along with 3 crushed cloves of garlic and sprig of thyme
- Add the fish and cook for around 3 minutes or until the haddock starts to flake
- Be careful not to over cook as it will become dry
- Drain off the fish reserving the milk and flake up the fish into big pieces
For the sauce
- With the cooking milk from the fish make a white sauce with 200ml of the milk, 20g butter and 20g plain flour
- Enhance the flavour with half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, salt pepper and a few scrapes of nutmeg
- Cool the sauce slightly and add the haddock flakes
- Stir lightly being careful not to break up the fish too much
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little more of the milk
For the omelette
- To cook the omelette, break 3 large eggs into a well buttered skillet pan
- Season and stir then let the egg cook out to form the omelette base
- Remove from the heat and sprinkle on grated cheddar cheese and gruyere cheese
- Add the haddock sauce mix to evenly cover the omelette
- Sprinkle with a little more cheese and then place under a hot grill until lightly golden and bubbling
- Finish with some chopped chives and parsley and serve from straight from the pan
