Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.5 cup cooked chicken breast
- 0.25 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, covering the spinach.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the eggs begin to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the cooked chicken breast and cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently fold the uncovered half of the omelette over the filling.
Cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts and the center is cooked through.
Slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
