Chef shares simple tip to make the perfect omelettes at home
Omelettes are the perfect quick and easy meal for breakfast - they can be whipped up in a matter of minutes, and are simply delicious. A nutritious meal, they're rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthy choice. Now, one chef has shared an easy method to make your omelettes even more delicious. Ellis Barrie has revealed how to cook an omelette in minutes and it's what you add to it that will make the biggest difference. There are two foods which Barrie suggests adding to this breakfast meal for added flavour. Barrie says the key to a good omelette is adding spinach and cheese to the recipe, Express reports. To make this healthy breakfast, you should: Start by melting a knob of butter in a frying pan placed over a medium heat. Next, you should add the spinach and cook for a minute or two. After this, you should season with salt and pepper and then tip out onto a plate. After this, beat the eggs in a bowl until mixed and return them to the frying pan. Add the remaining butter and melt until it turns foamy. With the beaten eggs, tilt the pan to distribute the eggs evenly and leave for 20 seconds. You'll then need to use a spatula or a wooden spoon to draw in the sides of the eggs to the centre, and incorporate butter. Then, gently shake the pan to redistribute the egg to the edges. For flavour, sprinkle over cheese and spinach while the egg is still runny in the middle. Take the pan off the heat and let the egg continue to cook in the warmth of the pan. Finally, season with salt and pepper, says BBC Food. There's a huge range of toppings you can add to your omelette. Cheese is one of the most common additions but if you're wondering which type of cheese is best, Eating Well has shared what you should look out for. It says: 'There's nothing wrong with choosing classic grated Cheddar to complement some crispy bacon or well-seared breakfast sausage, but a softer cheese, like chèvre or a herby Boursin, amplifies the gooey factor and leaves you with creamy bite after creamy bite. 'Softer cheeses, stirred together with your proteins and cooked veggies, also help with ingredient integration, assuring that every bite has a little bit of everything.' By following this simple recipe, you can create a delicious healthy breakfast to start your day off with a nutritious meal.

Abersoch and Newborough restaurants named among UK's best
The Good Food Guide, in partnership with Square, has announced its 100 Best Local Restaurants for 2025. The awards highlight the "independently run venues that define affordable and accessible dining across Britain". Around 60,000 public nominations were received, with the Good Food Guide's anonymous inspectors then whittling the list down to the 100 best. After four months of nominations, incognito inspections and intensive deliberation, we're delighted to finally share our 100 Best Local Restaurants of 2025 in partnership with @SquareUK. These are the places you really want to eat at in 2025: The Good Food Guide said: "This 2025 list celebrates wine bars serving sensational small plates, neighbourhood bistros breathing life into faded towns, and the cherished family-run gems where you can enjoy a great meal for under £20." While executive director at Square, Samantha Hussain-Letch, added: "The restaurants recognised by The Good Food Guide exemplify creativity and excellence, and we're excited to see how they continue to shape the future of the industry." The local restaurants in Wales that are among the UK's best, according to the Good Food Guide, are: You can see the full list of the 100 best local restaurants on the Good Food Guide website. Y Marram, located in the Anglesey village of Newborough, was one of two North Wales eateries to feature among the Good Food Guide's 100 best local restaurants. The North Wales restaurant has been commended for its "exemplary local produce crafted with care" and boasts a 'very good' overall rating on the Good Food Guide website. The website adds: "A caravan park on a Welsh holiday island is not the first place you'd think of to find a meal that could hold its own alongside many a Soho or Shoreditch joint. "Formerly the Guide-listed Marram Grass, the venue has gone through several iterations, but if they can sustain the quality we experienced on our visit, many more bucket 'n' spaders should be queuing up for dishes such as whole wild sea bass in shellfish sauce or hand-dived scallops, yoghurt, poached egg in a burnt butter sauce – as well as dayttime brunch treats. "Given the location, fish predominates, but you'll also find choices on the short main menu such as dry-aged pork loin and apple in a pork butter sauce." The Good Food Guide continues: "Menu structure is still a work in progress: opening times are varied (check the website) and there is currently no separate starter or dessert options. "To drink, beers, ciders and wines have a local accent wherever possible. "Also, look out for visiting guest chefs and culinary events. "In contrast to the rather rickety surrounds (think an extended, florally bedecked garden shed amidst farm buildings), Ellis Barrie's cooking is instinctively refined, skilled and confident enough to keep it simple – not because he doesn't know how to elaborate, but because he clearly does." A post shared by Y Marram (@ The Good Food Guide describes The Dining Room in Abersoch as a "fun-loving bistro with a huge local following", while it has an overall rating of 'Good'. The food experts explain: "Tucked discreetly in between a butcher's and a bakery in a seaside village on the Llyn Peninsula, the Dining Room might almost be missed, except that a cascade of local recommendations suggests that it is very much on everybody's radar. "It's a front-room bistro operation done in soothing neutral colours, with calming lake views on the walls to counterpoint the happy buzz of custom. "Chef-owner Si Toft's career began in northwest England before he crossed the border, embarking on a mission to showcase the best Welsh produce on a tight ship three evenings a week. "Expect Anglesey black beef, Cardigan Bay fish and Penderyn whisky to crop up regularly on the frequently changing menus." A post shared by The Dining Room | Abersoch (@thediningroomabersoch) The Dining Room also comes highly recommended by visitors, with the restaurant holding a near-perfect 4.6 (out of 5) rating on Tripadvisor from 312 reviews. Customers have described the Abersoch-based restaurant as "perfect", "a little gem" and "6 out of 5", while another said it has "the best food in Wales". RECOMMENDED READING: 3 'must visit' seaside fish and chip shops in North Wales named among UK's best 'Unbelievable' North Wales restaurant with 'surprise' menu among the world's best 'Picturesque' North Wales town among UK's best for al fresco dining and pub gardens One person, commenting on Tripadvisor, said: "The best local food cooked in a superb intimate restaurant. "My compliments to the chef and staff - you really should try and visit to taste, and experience, the quality of the food and service first hand." Another added: "Simply the best food anywhere, let alone in Abersoch. Very original menu, local produce put together with perfection. "Small & intimate atmosphere with friendly staff. Must try the recommended aperitifs."
