Serves: 1

Prep and cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 eggs

50g feta, crumbled

½ tbsp avocado oil

2 spring onions, finely sliced

80g cherry tomatoes, halved

60g cooked sweetcorn - about half a small tin

25g watercress - remove any very large stalks

Small handful parsley, chopped

Black pepper and sea salt to taste

Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)

1-2 tbsp toasted seeds e.g., pumpkin or other mix - flax, sunflower, pumpkin

For the asparagus:

6 asparagus spears or more if thinner - tough bases trimmed slightly, halve any very thick ones lengthways

1 tsp avocado oil

Black pepper and sea salt - pinch of each

A little lemon zest (optional)

Squeeze of lemon to taste

Method:

Toss the asparagus with oil, pepper sea salt and roast at 190°C for around 10-12 minutes until just tender with slightly crisp tips.

Whisk the eggs with the feta, add half the parsley.

Soften the spring onions slightly in a frying pan, 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and corn and cook for a couple more minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Stir in the watercress.

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softly set. Season to taste.

Serve with the roasted asparagus, remaining parsley scattered over the top, chilli flakes if using, a pinch of lemon zest and an extra squeeze of lemon if you like.

Scatter over some toasted seeds if using too.
