Omelette Ingredients
- 4 fresh eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach (washed and roughly chopped)
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar or feta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter (for cooking)
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by thoroughly washing the fresh baby spinach. If using fresh, roughly chop the leaves. For frozen spinach, ensure it is fully thawed and squeezed dry to remove excess water.
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a splash of milk or cream. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk everything together vigorously until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
- Cook the Spinach: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add oil or butter. When hot, add the spinach and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Omelette Base: In the same skillet, pour in the whisked eggs. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the edges start to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- Add Spinach and Cheese: Evenly spread the sautéed spinach over one half of the mostly set eggs. Sprinkle your shredded cheddar or feta cheese on top of the spinach.
- Fold and Finish Cooking: Carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the spinach and cheese. Cook for another minute or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked through.
- Serve: Gently slide the finished omelette onto a plate. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like chives or parsley and an optional sprinkle of additional cheese. Serve hot and enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for best flavor; if using frozen, make sure to remove all excess moisture.
- You can substitute the cheese with your favorite type, such as mozzarella or goat cheese.
- Adjust seasoning according to taste, and add other herbs or spices if desired.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid browning the eggs too much and to ensure even cooking.
- This omelette is best served immediately for a fluffy texture and melted cheese.
