How to Make Spinach & Cheese Omelette
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Sauté the Spinach
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add butter or olive oil.
- Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 30 seconds until slightly wilted.
Step 3: Cook the Omelette
- Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, tilting the pan so it spreads evenly.
- Let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Step 4: Add the Cheese & Fold
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Once the eggs are mostly set (but still slightly soft on top), carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula.
- Cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese, then remove from heat.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using).
- Serve hot with toast, avocado, or a side salad!
Serving Suggestions
- Pair it with whole-grain toast and fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or salsa for extra flavor.
- Serve with a smoothie or freshly squeezed juice for a refreshing combo.
Tips for the Perfect Omelette
✔ Whisk Well – Beating the eggs until frothy helps create a fluffy texture.
✔ Don’t Overcook – Remove from heat when the eggs are just set to keep them soft and tender.
✔ Experiment with Cheese – Try Swiss, Monterey Jack, or goat cheese for a twist.
✔ Make It Heartier – Add mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a pan over low heat or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
- Freeze: Not recommended, as eggs can become rubbery when frozen.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I use frozen spinach?
A: Yes! Just thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding to the pan.
Q2: Can I make this omelette dairy-free?
A: Absolutely! Use dairy-free cheese and skip the milk or replace it with almond or oat milk.
Q3: How do I make my omelette fluffier?
A: Adding a splash of milk and whisking the eggs well helps create a lighter texture.
