Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ounce cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until well combined and slightly frothy.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside. Chop the fresh spinach, chives, and parsley finely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan's surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it gently to cover the bottom of the pan evenly.
Let the eggs cook gently, using a spatula to occasionally lift the edges, allowing the unset egg to flow underneath.
Once the bottom is set and the surface is slightly moist, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese and chopped spinach on one half of the omelet.
Use the spatula to fold the other side of the omelet over the filling.
Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the omelet is cooked through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives and parsley, and serve immediately.
