Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 100 grams chorizo
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is fully blended and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, over medium heat, add half of the olive oil or butter and allow it to melt.
Add the chorizo to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until it is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set aside in a small bowl.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and in the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil or butter, then add the egg mixture.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
Once the eggs are almost set, sprinkle the cooked chorizo, baby spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling and let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
