Equipment: Non-stick frying pan

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ red pepper, sliced
  • ½ small onion, sliced
  • 40 g manchego or cheddar, grated
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

  1. Soften the pepper and onion in the oil for 5–6 minutes, then stir in the paprika.
  2. Beat the eggs and season. Pour into the pan over the vegetables.
  3. As the eggs set, draw the edges in and tilt the pan so the runny egg flows out.
  4. Scatter the cheese over one half, fold, and serve.

Swaps and tips

Cook the pepper and onion slowly until really soft and sweet. A little chopped chorizo makes it even heartier.
