IngredientsMakes: 308g (2)
240gtree spinach and cheddar cheese omelette(recipe below)
60gbroad beans
10gbutter
Method
Make the omelette & turn it out onto a hot serving plate - keep it warm.
Shell the broad beans & the boil them in a small saucepan in salt water for 2 minutes. 
Drain & remove the skin once they've cooled a little.
If they've just been picked I only peel the really big ones. Fibre is good for you!
Return them to the pan & add a nob of butter.
Once it's melted toss to coat evenly. It's a bit decadent but really nice!
Turn them out onto the omelette and serve immediately.
Some chopped fresh herbs like oregano, chives or chervil would probably go pretty well w/ this.
