How to Make a Spinach & Cheese Omelette

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2: Sauté the Spinach

1. Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Omelette

1. Reduce the heat to low-medium and pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
2. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, gently swirling the pan so the eggs cook evenly.

Step 4: Add Cheese & Spinach

1. Sprinkle the sautéed spinach and shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
2. Once the edges start to lift slightly and the center is mostly set, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!

1. Cook for another 30 seconds to let the cheese melt completely.
2. Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
3. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

• Toast & Avocado – Pair with whole-grain toast and sliced avocado for a balanced breakfast.
• Fresh Salad – Serve with a simple side salad for a light meal.
• Protein Boost – Add diced chicken, turkey, or beans for extra protein.

Tips for the Best Spinach & Cheese Omelette

Use Fresh Eggs – The fresher the eggs, the better the texture and flavor.
Low & Slow Cooking – Cooking on low heat ensures a soft, creamy omelette without overcooking.
Don’t Overfill – Too many ingredients can make the omelette difficult to fold.
Experiment with Cheese – Try Swiss, gouda, or feta for a different flavor twist.

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat or microwave for 30 seconds.
• Make Ahead: Whisk the egg mixture and prep the spinach in advance for a quick breakfast.
