Super Green Omelette Recipe by Donal Skehan

My inner Dr Seuss fan gets excited at the mere thought of green eggs – even without the ham! I often make neon green spinach crêpes filled with Gruyère cheese and ham as a means to satisfy my needs but I do have a slightly lighter alternative in this super green omelette, which can easily become the vehicle for plenty of other ingredients of your choosing.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

– 50g baby spinach
– Large handful of chives
– Large handful of flat-leaf parsley
– 75ml milk
– 4 large free-range eggs
– 1 tbsp sunflower oil
– 75g sun blushed tomatoes
– 50g pine nuts, toasted
– 1 large ripe avocado
– 100g rindless goats’ cheese, crumbled
– Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

1. Place the spinach, chives, parsley and milk in a food processor and blitz until smooth (you may need to scrape down the greens with a spatula halfway through the process).
2. Add the eggs and blitz again to combine, then season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and pour in half the mixture. Tilt the pan until the mixture completely covers the base. Cook for 2 minutes until just set underneath and then add half the tomatoes, pine nuts, avocado and goats’ cheese. Fold the omelette in half and then cook for a further 2 minutes.
4. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second omelette.
5. Serve the omelettes hot from the pan or allow to cool and chop up for a lunchbox on-the-go.
