Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 4 whole fresh basil leaves
- 1 stalk green onion
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, chop the fresh basil leaves, and finely slice the green onion. Set aside along with the spinach leaves.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes until softened.
Add the spinach to the skillet and stir gently until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the tomatoes and spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 1-2 minutes.
Gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Repeat until most of the egg is set but the top remains slightly runny.
Add the cooked tomatoes, spinach, goat cheese, basil, and green onion to one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over the filling using a spatula.
Let the omelet cook for 1 more minute to melt the cheese, then slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
