Spinach And Cheese Garlic Omelette
Serves 1
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Make this Omelette with simple spinach and cheese fillings. Serve with toasts and bacon for a hearty breakfast.
Ingredients:
- 10g butter
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 30g baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 2 eggs
- Pinch salt and pepper
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- Bacon, toast to serve
Method:
- Turn on the Sunbeam Café Style 2-Slice Sandwich Press & Maker.
- When the READY light is on, add the butter and garlic to the sandwich press and cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant and butter is melted, 1 minute. Add the baby spinach, close the lid and cook until wilted, 30 seconds.
- Crack eggs into a small bowl and scramble lightly with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the baby spinach and tilt the grill slightly to make sure the egg evenly coats the grill.
- Place the cheese slices on top of the egg, then close and lock the sandwich press lid so it is hovering just above the cheese. Cook until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked, 2-3 minutes.
- Using a spatula, gently roll your omelette and place on your plate. Serve with bacon and toast and enjoy.
COOK’S TIP
If serving with bacon and toast, you can cook your toast on the grill for 2-3 minutes per side, and bacon for 4-5 minutes just before cooking your eggs.
Rosemary And Garlic Spatchcock Chicken
Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
This spatchcock chicken recipe is a great way to use the whole chicken with simple seasonings.
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 20g butter, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 6kg spatchcock chicken
- Turn on the Sunbeam Café Style 6-Slice Sandwich Press & Maker to preheat.
- In a large bowl, combine the herbs, garlic, butter and salt. Mix well to combine. Pat the spatchcock chicken dry with paper towel, then add to the bowl with the herb butter. Smother all surfaces of the chicken with the butter on all sides.
- Place chicken in the grill and close the lid, lock in place and cook for 15 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Open the lid and flip the chicken over (this helps to cook it evenly!) and cook for a further 15 minutes, or until cooked through completely with crisp and golden skin, 15 minutes (total cook time 30 minutes). Remove from the grill, slice and enjoy!
COOK’S TIP
Ask your butcher to spatchcock a whole chicken for you, or you can use kitchen scissors to remove the spine and flatten the breastbone yourself if you’re confident. Add a pinch of lemon zest to the butter if you have some on hand for extra flavour.
