Description

A quick and nutritious Spinach & Cheese Omelette featuring fresh spinach and melted cheese, perfect for a healthy breakfast or light meal in just 10 minutes.


Ingredients

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

  1. Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk if using, and whisk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Heat Pan: Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare for cooking the omelette.
  3. Sauté Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it wilts and softens.
  4. Add Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the sautéed spinach in the skillet.
  5. Cook Eggs: Cook for 1-2 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelette to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath for even cooking.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the omelette and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
  7. Fold and Serve: Fold the omelette in half carefully and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Using milk in the eggs is optional but helps make the omelette fluffier.
  • You can substitute the cheese with your favorite type or omit for a lighter version.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or parsley if desired.
  • Make sure to use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make folding easier.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid browning or burning the eggs.
