Spring onion and chilli cheese omelette
Don't leave the last spring onion languishing in the fridge – use it to pep up an omelette for a quick lunch or supper. This is an easily adapted formula: throw in a few cooked broccoli florets if you have them, or some green beans or sliver of courgette.
Ingredients

- 1 tbsp sunflower oil (or other oil suitable for light frying)
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- ½ fresh red chilli, de-seeded and chopped, or a pinch of dried ground chilli or flakes
