Ingredient Notes

  2. 4 large eggs – Organic or free-range eggs improve flavor and are typically more nutritious.
  3. 2 tablespoons milk – Any type will work, but whole milk gives a richer texture; almond milk is a great dairy-free option.

  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the spinach.
  3. Cook until wilted, about two minutes.

  7. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve warm.

Things I’ve Learned

One common issue is the omelette sticking to the pan; using a non-stick skillet with a bit of oil helps. For storage, wrap any leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat gently in the microwave for a quick breakfast. You can easily make this ahead by preparing the filling and storing it separately.
