Ingredients

8 total
  • 4 flat mushrooms, stalks removed
  • 2 tsp of salted butter, plus extra for spreading
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 large eggs, beaten and seasoned
  • 75 g of mature cheddar, grated
  • 4 oven bottom muffins
  • 1 handful of baby spinach
  • 0.5 tbsp of olive oil

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Arrange the mushrooms on a baking tray and dot each with the butter where the stalk has been removed. Season generously and bake for 10-12 mins until softened and juicy.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, for the tortilla, heat the olive oil in a 20cm ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2-3 mins, until softened.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the eggs over the tomatoes, sprinkle with the cheese and shake the pan gently to level out the mixture. Cook for 2-3 mins, then transfer to the oven for 5-7 mins, until set and lightly golden.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the muffins in half and spread with a little butter. Layer the bottom halves with a few spinach leaves and a baked mushroom.

  5. Step 5

    Remove the tortilla from the oven and allow to sit for 1-2 mins before carefully sliding it out of the pan and onto a board. Cut into quarters, then place on top of the mushrooms and sandwich with the muffin lids. Serve immediately.
