Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Fillings:
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, if using, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until wilted.
- Cook Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Let cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath. Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly glossy on top, sprinkle the cheese over one half. Carefully fold the omelette in half and cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese. Slide onto a plate and serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to swap cheddar for feta, mozzarella, or Swiss.
- Add diced tomatoes or mushrooms for extra flavor.
- For a fluffier omelette, beat the eggs until frothy and use water instead of milk.
