Wilted Spinach Omelette (#1 Members Meals)

The Wilted Spinach Omelette recipe is from Sarah Morris. Sarah is a director of All 4 Inclusion and runs the successful Wednesday night Art Group.

She is a keen cook and like many of us looks to balance nutrition on a low budget. Personally I love omelettes, then when you add spinach for texture and goodness, plus the onions soaking up all those flavours and juices from both the eggs and spinach this is a winner for me.
