Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups shredded cheese
- 0.5 cups spinach
- 0.25 cups diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cups cooked bacon or ham (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a whisk or fork to beat the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Prepare your filling ingredients by shredding the cheese, washing the spinach, dicing the tomatoes, and preparing any optional cooked bacon or ham.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Gently tilt the skillet to spread the eggs evenly across the surface.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet slightly to allow any uncooked egg on top to flow underneath.
When the top of the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft, sprinkle the cheese, spinach, diced tomatoes, and optional bacon or ham over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Gently press down to seal.
Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is thoroughly cooked but still tender.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.
