Ingredients

• 150 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 piece Onion
• 50 grams Cheese (Gruyère or Swiss)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Chop the spinach roughly and set aside.

Step 2

Finely dice half an onion. Grate the cheese and set both aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.

Step 5

Add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 1-2 more minutes until the spinach wilts down.

Step 7

Spread the spinach-onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, tilting the skillet slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the egg mixture.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Using a rubber spatula, gently loosen the edges of the omelet from the skillet. Fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious German Spinach Omelet!
