While's there's been a bit of a scramble over his tax policy, the leader of the National Party, binds it together when it comes to breakfast.

In RNZ's new political series, Grilled, the top four polling political leaders make a meal of their choice, for our very own Charlotte Cook.

In Friday's episode, National's Leader Christopher Luxon was eager to get cracking. Here's his omelette recipe.

Christopher Luxon's Cheese and Ham Omelette

4 eggs
Large handful of grated cheese
Large handful of ham, chopped
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 200C.
Beat eggs with a splash of water. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a small omelette pan (cast iron or stainless steel).
Pour in the egg mixture and cook until it is golden-brown underneath.
Place the pan in the oven and cook for a few minutes until golden-brown on top.
Remove from oven (use a tea towel or oven gloves), then sprinkle ham and cheese onto half the omelette.
Fold over other half and slide out of the pan onto a chopping board.
Cut in half and serve.
