Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the baby spinach thoroughly, and slicing the green onions finely.
In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the egg whites. Beat them together until well combined.
Stir in the ricotta cheese into the beaten eggs until the mixture is smooth.
Add the sliced green onions, spinach, salt, and ground black pepper to the egg mixture and mix well.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling it around to coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Cook the omelette for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is set and lightly golden. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
Once the bottom of the omelette is cooked, carefully flip it using a spatula or fold it in half if preferred, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully set.
Remove from the pan and let it rest for a minute before serving. Enjoy your high-protein Romanian Omleta fresh with a side salad or some toasted bread.
