Equipment: Large frying pan

Ingredients

  • 15 g butter
  • 1/2 small green or savoy cabbage, shredded
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 50 g cheddar, grated
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the cabbage and onion over a medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes until soft and browned in places.
  2. Pour in the eggs and stir gently for 2-3 minutes until just set.
  3. Scatter over the cheese, season and serve as soon as it melts.

Swaps and tips

Let the cabbage catch and brown a little in the pan before you add the eggs; that's where the flavour is.

Easy variations

  • Add chopped bacon or leftover ham
  • Use kale or sprouts instead of cabbage
  • Add a pinch of chilli flakes or caraway seeds
  • Use leftover cooked greens to make it in 10 minutes
