Today I made us my easy peasy cheese and spinach omelettes. I call this 'easy peasy' because there's honestly very little effort involved. As there is only myself and my son at home, I used a lasagne dish to make up two portions.
I started by preheating the oven to 200degrees, and greased the lasagne dish with a little butter, and placed the dish to one side. I then cracked three eggs into a jug, along with about 150ml of milk, and whisked with a fork. I then added a handful of cheese, a handful of spinach leaves (I ripped the stalks off prior), and a pinch of salt, and mixed them all up again. I then poured the mixture into the greased lasagne dish, and placed in the oven to cook for 20 minutes. Et voila!
I also found time to make up apple pastry slices. I cheated a little bit as I just wanted an easy night with a tasty dessert my son would enjoy. I used a Bells Puff Pastry Block (212g), and cut it in half. I rolled out one half into a length before placing it onto a a baking tray of baking parchment. I cooked this in the oven (also at 200degrees) for fifteen minutes. While this was cooking, I chopped up 5 gala apples that we had (which needed using) into diced cubes. I placed these in a saucepan on full heat, with a little bit of boiled water in the bottom of the pan. I didn't add sugar as it was sweet enough already. I placed the lid on the saucepan, and reduced the heat to a simmer, and left the apples and the pastry to cook. (The pastry had roughly fifteen minutes, and the apples took ten minutes to reduce). Once the pastry was par-cooked, and the apples were soft, I then spooned the apples on to the pastry, and added some honey before placing back in the oven for a further five minutes.
Hope you guys enjoyed this post, Sam x
