Ingredients
  

  • 25g/1oz walnuts
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 50g/2oz baby spinach
  • 80ml/3fl oz double cream
  • 80ml /3fl oz milk
  • 30g/1oz sharp Cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 eggs
  • 10g/½oz vegetarian Parmesan grated
  • nutmeg, salt and pepper for seasoning
  • bread or toast to serve

Method
 

  1. Heat a small frying pan to a medium-high heat. Add in your walnuts and toast for 2 minutes, tossing frequently. Do not let them burn. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan heat your olive oil on a medium heat. Once hot add in your spinach and stir until wilted, around 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and grated fresh nutmeg to taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Turn the pan down to medium-low and add in your cream, milk and grated Cheddar. Stir for 2 minutes until the cheese has melted. Season to taste.
  4. Add the spinach back in and stir through. Crack in the eggs, making sure the yolks stay whole. Sprinkle over the parmesan.
  5. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
  6. Sprinkle with the toasted walnuts and enjoy with bread or toast!
