2-3 slices multigrain bread, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 rashers streaky bacon, sliced
150g baby spinach leaves
¼ cup cream
100g tilsit, gruyere or raclette, grated
4 large free range eggs

Method

Toss bread cubes with olive oil on an oven tray and season. Bake at 200°C for 5-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Meanwhile, fry bacon in an ovenproof skillet until golden brown. Add spinach and cream and cook, stirring until spinach has just wilted. Reserving ¼ cup for garnish, sprinkle with tilsit.

Serve sprinkled with reserved Tilsit, pepper and croutons.
