Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 ounce grated cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.125 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the surface evenly.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes until the leaves are wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1–2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula and tilt the skillet to let any uncooked egg flow to the edges for even cooking.
Once the center is mostly set but still slightly soft, evenly layer the sautéed spinach and grated cheese over one-half of the omelette.
Dollop the sour cream on top of the spinach and cheese, spreading it gently with the back of a spoon.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling using a spatula and let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while hot.
