THE PERFECT OMELETTE
Ingredients
- 2 free-range eggs
- 2 knobs of butter
- large handful spinach
- 15g/½oz Cheddar
- grated
- salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions
- Beat the eggs until just mixed and season with salt and pepper.
- Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan placed over a medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes
- until slightly wilted. Tip out onto a plate and set aside.
- Return the frying pan to a medium–high heat
- add the remaining butter and melt until beginning to foam
- then swirl it around the pan.
- Pour in the beaten eggs
- then tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly. Leave for 20 seconds
- until the eggs begin to bubble.
- Working quickly
- sprinkle the Cheddar over the top. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to draw in the sides of the eggs to the centre while shaking the pan to redistribute the egg to the edges.
- Sprinkle over the spinach
- then remove the pan from the heat
- while the egg is still slightly runny in the middle. The residual heat will cook the egg and spinach.
- Using a spatula or fork
- fold the omelette in half
- then turn the omelette onto a warm plate. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
