Gather @cheddar cheese{80%g}.

Wilt the @spinach{250%g} in a dry non-stick pan over medium heat until fully collapsed, about 3 minutes; tip into a colander, press out the liquid, and chop roughly. ~{3%minutes}

In the same pan, warm the @olive oil{2%tbsp} and soften the @onion{0.5}, about 5 minutes. ~{5%minutes}

Beat the eggs with the @salt{0.5%tsp} and @nutmeg{} in a large bowl, then stir in the spinach, onion and grated cheddar.

Let the mixture sit 5 minutes so the @egg{7} soaks into the cheese and spinach. ~{5%minutes}

Wipe out the pan, add a little more oil if needed, and pour in the mixture over medium heat, shaping the edge as it sets, about 4 minutes. ~{4%minutes}

Flip with the help of a large plate and cook the second side until just set in the center, about 3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Rest 5 minutes before slicing into wedges; good warm now or packed cold for lunch the next day. ~{5%minutes}
