Steps

  • Simmer milk, haddock, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a pan for five minutes.
  • Remove the fish from the pan, cool slightly, and flake it into pieces while discarding the skin.
  • Strain the poaching milk into a clean container and beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
  • Melt 15g of butter in a frying pan over medium-hot heat and cook the eggs gently while stirring.
  • Place half the flaked fish on the omelette and roll it onto an ovenproof dish before adding the remaining fish.
  • Preheat the grill to a hot setting.
  • Melt 25g of butter in the pan, stir in the flour for two minutes, then whisk in the milk to form a sauce.
  • Season the sauce and pour it over the omelette.
  • Scatter cheese over the top and grill for 3-5 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Serve the dish immediately.
