Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach leaves and pat them dry using a kitchen towel.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan until the butter is melted and coats the bottom.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until it wilts and reduces in size. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start to set.
Gently scramble the eggs by using a spatula to push the cooked edges toward the center, allowing the uncooked egg mixture to flow outward. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the eggs remain soft and fluffy.
Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over one half of the eggs, then add the sautéed spinach over the cheese.
Fold the other half of the eggs over the filling to create an omelet shape. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the cheese melt completely.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if serving two people, and enjoy immediately.
