A quick high-protein breakfast or lunch.
Equipment: Non-stick frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 4 thin slices of cooked ham or pork
- 4 eggs
- 40 g cheddar, grated
- Knob of butter
- Handful of spinach
- Black pepper
- Cherry tomatoes, to serve
Method
- Beat the eggs with black pepper. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan and pour in the eggs, swirling to make a thin, even omelette.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, until just set on top, then slide onto a board.
- Lay the ham over the omelette, scatter with the cheddar and spinach while it's still warm so the cheese softens.
- Roll up tightly from one edge.
- Slice into rounds and serve warm or cold with cherry tomatoes. Taste before adding salt — the ham already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
Like a low-carb roulade — great hot or cold. Any cooked pork or ham works.
