Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 piece Onion
- 50 grams Cheese (Gruyère or Swiss)
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Chop the spinach roughly and set aside.
Finely dice half an onion. Grate the cheese and set both aside.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the spinach wilts down.
Spread the spinach-onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, tilting the skillet slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
Using a rubber spatula, gently loosen the edges of the omelet from the skillet. Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious German Spinach Omelet!
