Ingredients

  • 2-3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon milk, light cream, or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Add diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes, cooked broccoli, or even diced cooked turkey/chicken

 

Instructions

Beat the Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add spinach and any optional vegetables, sautéing until softened (about 1–2 minutes).

Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and the other cooked vegetables or cooked protein mentioned above in the skillet. Let it cook until the edges start to set (about 2–3 minutes).

Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

Fold and Finish: Gently fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Put the lid on and cook for another 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set.

Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate and enjoy immediately.

Add avocado slices if desired.
