1. Heat the oil in a 25cm, heavy-based frying pan and cook the onion over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened. Add the spinach and cook, stirring , for 1 minute until wilted. Remove the pan from the heat.

2. Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with a little salt and plenty of pepper, then pour over the spinach and onion in the pan.
