  Lightly salt (2 pinches).
• 5: Cook until done, but still slightly crunchy.
• 6: Into a pan over a medium heat, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil, or better still olive oil with herbs.
  When oil is hot (lightly smoking), add the diced tomato, salt and pepper and mix well.
  Cook for 2 minutes.

• 9: Put the tomato frying pan back on the heat, without cleaning it. When hot, put in the smoked ham slices, 20 seconds on each side.
• 10: Remove from the frying pan, and cut into medium size pieces (about half an inch or 1 cm).
• 11: Beat the 2 eggs with salt and pepper.
• 12: Add the tomatoes and courgettes, mix well.
  Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C).
• 13: Into small moulds (preferably silicone ones, easy to unmould), put some smoked ham and then pour in the egg-tomato-courgette mix to about 2/3 of the way up.
  Be careful, omelettes inflate when cooking and so can overflow.
• 14: Put in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
• 15: Be careful towards the end of the cooking time, it's important that omelettes are not overcooked, and stay soft.
