Ingredient Notes
• 1 cup of fresh spinach: Substitute with kale or arugula if desired.
• 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese: Try Pecorino Romano for a stronger flavor.
• 1 pound of eggs: Use free-range or organic for better quality.
• 1/2 cup of cherry tomatoes: Substitute with bell peppers or zucchini for variety.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour in half of the egg mixture, swirling to cover the base of the pan.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are set but still slightly soft. Sprinkle half the spinach, Parmesan, and cherry tomatoes on one side of the omelette.
- Carefully roll the omelette from the filled side to the edge, then slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second omelette.
Things I’ve Learned
To avoid overcooking the eggs, keep the heat medium and watch closely. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or a skillet. You can make the omelettes ahead of time and fill them just before serving for quicker breakfasts.
