A Flavorful Spinach and Cheese Omelette
This spinach and cheese omelette is a light yet filling dish that combines fresh spinach, creamy cheese, and tender eggs. It’s savory, slightly salty, and offers a wonderful balance of textures from the soft eggs to the gooey cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, feta, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Sauté Spinach: Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Add Cheese: Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half over the cheese and cook for another minute until the cheese melts. Slide onto a plate and serve hot.
