Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Slice the cherry tomatoes into halves and set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt, coating the pan evenly.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it begins to wilt. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the mixture evenly across the surface.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to set but are still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet. Layer the sautéed spinach and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using a spatula. Gently press down to seal it.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelet to cook through.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious, low-carb breakfast!
