dinosaur eggs
So simple it barely qualifies as a recipe, and yet these are always a hit. Eggs, spinach and cheese blended into the fluffiest omelette, then rolled up for little hands. They're quick, filling, and one of those rare lunches that actually gets eaten without discussion (while including spinach!!).
- 3–4 eggs
- 1 handful baby spinach
- ⅓ cup grated mild cheese (Gouda, cheddar, Emmental)
- 1 tsp butter or olive oil (for baking)
- Salt + pepper to season
Add eggs, spinach, cheese, salt & pepper to a blender.
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds (this whips air into the eggs and makes them fluffy).
Let the mixture rest 30–60 seconds (optional, but adds extra fluff).
Heat a pan on medium–low with butter or olive oil.
Pour in the egg mixture.
Cook gently until just set.
Roll up and slice into “dinosaur rolls” for the lunchbox.
