Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh spinach
• 6 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 6 whole Cherry tomatoes (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cooked spinach, ensuring the spinach is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

If using cherry tomatoes, slice them in half and scatter them on top of the egg mixture for added color and flavor.

Step 8

Bake the omelet in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the omelet to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges or squares.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your Italian Baked Spinach Omelet!
