Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 100 grams cooked ham
- 50 grams cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the egg whites and beat together until well combined.
Mix in the low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper, beating until the mixture is smooth and slightly foamy.
Dice the cooked ham into small pieces and grate the cheddar cheese if not pre-grated.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the same frying pan, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
As the omelette begins to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow the uncooked egg mixture to flow underneath.
When the omelette is mostly set but slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the cooked ham and spinach over one half of the omelette.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the ham and spinach.
Fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully set and the cheese is melted.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, slice in half, and serve hot.
