Ingredient Notes

1 cup of eggs (about 4 large eggs) is the base; feel free to substitute with egg whites for a lighter option. 2 tablespoons of soy sauce brings in that umami flavor, while 1 pound of spinach adds nutrients and color. Lastly, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) adds creaminess—choose your favorite or leave it out for a dairy-free version.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with soy sauce until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a touch of oil.
  3. Step 3: Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to cover the bottom evenly.
  4. Step 4: Once the edges set, sprinkle half of the spinach and cheese on top.
  5. Step 5: Carefully roll the omelet from one side to the other, then slide it onto a plate.
  6. Step 6: Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, spinach, and cheese for a second rolled omelet.

Things I’ve Learned

A common issue is the omelet sticking to the pan; using a good non-stick skillet and the right amount of oil helps. These rolled omelets can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave. For make-ahead prep, you can cook the omelets in advance and fill them with fresh ingredients just before serving for maximum freshness.
