Even if you're cooking for one, we still recommend making two omelettes – one to tuck into straight away, and the other to enjoy in a sandwich the following day.

Shakshuka is a dish from North Africa, traditionally made with poached eggs, tomato sauce and spices. Our recipe adds sweet potato to the mix, which works well to soak up the eggs. Meanwhile, mature Cheddar gives the whole dish a wonderful richness.
This shakshuka-like dish is a healthy way to start the day. Our recipe swaps traditional tomatoes for green vegetables including asparagus, spring onions and cabbage – though you could adjust the ingredients depending on your preference.
