Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels. Roughly chop the spinach into smaller pieces.
- Dice the onions and tomatoes into small, uniform pieces. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk them vigorously until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Gently mix to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage of the bottom.
- As the eggs begin to set, sprinkle the chopped spinach, diced onions, and tomatoes evenly across one half of the omelette.
- If using, crumble the feta cheese over the same half of the omelette.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, use a spatula to carefully fold the empty half of the omelette over the vegetable and cheese side.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese begins to melt.
- Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and garnish with additional fresh spinach leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Spinach Omelette Cheryl Style!
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use the freshest spinach, tomatoes, and eggs you can find for the best flavor and texture. Organic produce can enhance the taste of your omelette significantly.
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are frothy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a fluffier omelette.
- Control the Heat: Cooking on medium heat is key. Too high, and you risk burning the eggs; too low, and they won't cook properly.
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms, or swap out the feta cheese for your favorite cheese variety.
- Perfect the Flip: When folding the omelette, wait until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top. This ensures that the filling stays intact and the omelette remains moist.
- Garnish for Flair: A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce can take your Spinach Omelette Cheryl Style to the next level, adding a pop of color and flavor.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy your omelette immediately after cooking to savor the fluffy texture and melty cheese.
