Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Grated cheese (optional, such as cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. If using heavy cream, add it to the bowl. Whisk the eggs with a fork or whisk until fully combined and fluffy.
Add the salt and black pepper to the egg mixture, and whisk again briefly.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts slightly.
Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach in the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure the eggs spread evenly.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
If using grated cheese, sprinkle it evenly over one half of the omelette at this stage.
Fold the omelette in half using a spatula, covering the cheese and spinach filling.
Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist inside.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with extra black pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
