Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Red onion
- 4 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium shredded cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together until well blended. Add a pinch of black pepper and garlic powder for flavor.
Wash and pat dry the fresh spinach. If the leaves are large, roughly chop them.
Dice the red onion into small pieces and slice the cherry tomatoes in halves.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, letting it melt and coat the pan surface.
Add the chopped red onion to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring they spread evenly across the pan.
Place the cherry tomato halves evenly on top of the egg mixture, and if using, sprinkle the low-sodium shredded cheese over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for around 5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the omelette is firm.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it in half if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium spinach omelette!
