Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the spinach. Cook for 2 mins until the spinach has wilted. Add ½ tbsp of water to help steam if necessary. Remove from the pan, place into a sieve and press down with the back of a spoon to squeeze out any excess moisture. When cool enough to handle, wrap in a few sheets of kitchen paper, then squeeze out any remaining excess water. Roughly chop and set aside. Wipe the pan clean. 
  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk until combined and smooth. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium heat, add the egg mixture, then cook without stirring for 30 secs. Lift and fold with a rubber spatula. Allow to sit for another 10 secs – it will still be runny in places. Fold in the spinach, tomatoes, 25g cheese and the coriander, continue to cook for a further 20-30 secs, until cooked to your liking. Serve on the toasted bread, scatter with the remaining cheese, the 4-seed mix and garnish with the coriander leaves.
