Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until wilted.
Evenly spread the spinach across the skillet and pour the egg mixture on top. Tilt the pan gently to ensure the eggs coat the entire surface.
Let the eggs cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
With a spatula, gently lift the other side of the omelette and fold it over the cheese layer.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the omelette is firm and the cheese has melted.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy your low carb, high flavor breakfast!
