Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Rinse the fresh spinach under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach if the leaves are large.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the leaves are wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently push the edges of the omelette towards the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue this process for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Once the omelette is mostly set and only slightly runny on top, sprinkle the spinach evenly across the surface. Then, add the shredded cheese on one half of the omelette.

Step 8

Allow the omelette to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt.

Step 9

Carefully fold the omelette in half using the spatula, covering the cheese and spinach. Cook for an additional 1 minute to ensure the fillings are warmed through.

Step 10

Slide the omelette onto a plate, serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious spinach and cheese omelette.
