Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Cooking Fat
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Heat Butter: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and become slightly bubbly but not browned.
- Cook Spinach: Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the wilted spinach in the skillet and let it sit undisturbed for a few seconds to begin setting.
- Set Edges: As the omelette edges start to cook and set, gently lift them with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath, ensuring even cooking.
- Add Cheese: When the omelette is mostly set on the bottom but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Fold Omelette: Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese filling and cook for an additional minute, allowing the cheese to melt fully inside.
- Serve: Slide the completed omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while hot and fluffy.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for best flavor and texture; baby spinach works well too.
- For a creamier texture, use whole milk or add a splash of cream instead of milk.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with other melting cheeses like mozzarella or Swiss.
- Cooking over medium heat prevents the omelette from browning too quickly and helps it stay tender.
- This omelette is best served fresh and hot to enjoy the melted cheese and fluffy eggs.
