Ingredient Notes
1 cup of fresh spinach adds nutrients and color; substitute with kale if preferred. 2 tablespoons of feta cheese crumbles give a tangy flavor; try goat cheese for a different taste. 1 pound of eggs provides a hearty base; use egg whites for a lighter option. 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes brings freshness; canned tomatoes can work in a pinch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
- Pour half the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to form an even layer. Cook until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully roll the omelette from one side to the other and slide it out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Slice the rolled omelettes and serve warm, garnished with extra spinach and tomatoes if desired.
Things I’ve Learned
To avoid the omelette sticking, ensure your pan is well-greased and hot before adding the eggs. If you have leftovers, store the rolled omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on low heat in the skillet. You can also pre-chop the filling ingredients to make morning prep even faster.
