Step by step recipe

1	Beat 2 eggs rapidly in a bowl, then salt and pepper. Cook with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small frying pan on medium heat, rather like an omelette or scrambled egg. Don't overcook; the eggs should not dry out. Set aside.
2	Butter 8 slices bread.
3	Put a large frying pan on medium heat and add the bread slices, butter side down.
4	Fry all the slices until browned.
5	Top half the fried bread on the un-fried side with egg.
6	Add the spinach.
7	Top with slices of cheese (Brie here).
8	Finish the sandwich with a second slice of bread and press down gently.
9	Put back in the pan on low heat...
10	...and cover. This is just to reheat the centre and melt the cheese.
11	You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
12	Serve piping hot, whole or cut in two.

Remarks

You can use a different cheese instead of Brie, such as Camembert.
