Method

In a medium-sized frying pan, sauté the garlic in a little olive oil until tender and golden. Add the beans and ham strips and stir to mix.
Add the eggs and seasoning and cook for 3-4 minutes, to form a firm but juicy omelette. Cool to room temperature, cut into triangular slices or squares and serve.
