Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 75 grams chorizo sausage
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until thoroughly combined and fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and chorizo sausage. Cook the chorizo for 3-4 minutes, breaking it into small pieces until it is browned and cooked through.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet with the chorizo. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to low and return the skillet to the stove. Add the butter and swirl it around until melted to coat the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it evenly covers the surface. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cooked chorizo, spinach mixture, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
