Sunny side upgrade: Smoked cod and manchego revueltos
Omelette Arnold Bennett inspires this Spanish scramble. Smoked fish, melted cheese and silky leeks make for a gorgeous egg creation.
SERVES 4
6 medium eggs
15g unsalted butter
200g leeks (trimmed weight), halved lengthways and sliced across
350g smoked cod or haddock fillet (skinned weight), cut into 2cm-3cm pieces
100g grated manchego
coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley, to serve
- Whisk the eggs with a little salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat, add the butter and once this melts add the leeks, season and fry for about 3 minutes until softened and lightly coloured. Scatter over the fish and fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally and turning the pieces until they lose their translucency.
- Scatter the cheese over the fish and leeks, then evenly pour over the eggs and cook for about 3 minutes in total, turning the mixture with a spatula every 30-45 seconds as it sets and lightly colours. It should remain slightly creamy at the end. Serve scattered with chopped parsley and plenty of hot buttered toast.
