Ingredients
- 2 knobs of butter (about ¾ oz)
- Large handful spinach (about 1¾ oz)
- 2 free-range eggs
- ½ oz cheddar, finely grated
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Melt the first knob of butter in a small non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Tip onto a plate and wipe out the pan.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Melt the second knob of butter in the pan over a medium heat until it foams but does not brown.
- Pour in the eggs and, working quickly, draw the edges into the centre with a spatula while tilting the pan so the runny egg fills the gaps. Cook for about 1 minute until mostly set but still slightly soft on top.
- Scatter the spinach and cheddar over one half, fold the omelette over and slide it onto a warm plate. Serve at once.
