• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 slices sourdough bread, cut into 2cm cubes
• 3 large eggs 
• 150ml milk
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced
• 1 sprig of dill, chopped (optional)
• 2 slices smoked salmon, chopped into small pieces
• 1 handful baby spinach
• 60g cream cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Heat the oil in a sauté pan on the hob and add the chunks of bread to turn a little golden.
2. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl with the milk, spring onions, dill (if you are using it) and salmon. Season well.
3. Once the bread has begun to colour, spread it out in the pan and pour the egg mix over. Add a handful of baby spinach and quickly fold to combine, this will also help the bread soak up the egg. Dot the cream cheese around the pan.
4. Cook for 3 mins to set the mixture, then finish under the grill. It should puff up a bit and be golden on top. Serve straight from the pan with an extra scattering of spring onion and spinach.
