Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together with the water until well blended. This will help make the omelette fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan completely.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, pour in the egg mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.
Gently use a rubber spatula to push the cooked portions of the egg from the edges toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Continue this until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle the fresh spinach, chopped parsley, chives, and diced tomatoes evenly over one half of the omelette. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Using the spatula, carefully lift and fold the omelette in half, covering the filling. Press gently to seal.
Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the inside is cooked to your liking.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with additional parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately.
