Omelette Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for fluffiness)
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk if using, and whisk together until smooth. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the olive oil until shimmering.
- Sauté spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Add eggs: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the cooked spinach in the skillet, allowing it to spread uniformly.
- Cook the omelette: Let the eggs cook for 1-2 minutes. Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath, ensuring even cooking.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
- Fold and serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese, slide it onto a plate, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use any cheese you prefer or have on hand; cheddar and mozzarella work particularly well.
- Add herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
- For a fluffier omelette, the milk is optional but recommended.
- Ensure the pan is non-stick to prevent the omelette from sticking and breaking.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
