Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 quarter cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
- 0.5 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, add heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, ensuring the entire bottom of the pan is coated.
Add the chopped bell pepper and green onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another minute until wilted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the cooked vegetables, tilting the pan to ensure even distribution.
Cook the eggs without stirring for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, gently lift one side of the omelette and fold it over the cheese side.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with extra green onion or a small sprinkle of cheese if desired, and serve warm.
