Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Add the spinach to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling gently to ensure an even layer.
As the eggs start to set, gently use a spatula to pull the edges of the omelette towards the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sautéed spinach and grated Parmesan cheese over half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
