This nutritious breakfast is low carb, super filling, and uses both the leaves and the stalks of the spinach – no wastage here!
SERVES 2
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 400g spinach (fresh or frozen), roughly chopped
- 3-4 large eggs
- Olive oil
- Salt & freshly-ground black pepper
- Chilli flakes (optional)

METHOD:
- Sauté onion in a little olive oil in a large frying pan until fragrant and translucent.
