Spinach Omelet with Cheese
When you like eggs for breakfast, you will enjoy this classic spinach omelet with cheddar cheese. It’s a fast and flavorful dish and, maybe the best thing, there are so many ways you can remix this omelet recipe.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 ounces baby spinach
- 2 ounces white cheddar cheese grated
- salt & pepper
- nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Coarsely chop the spinach. Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper and add the spinach. (NOTE 1)
- Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
- On low heat cook the omelet until the cheese is melted and there is no flowing liquid egg left.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Double the omelet, or roll it up. Serve it with bread or sandwich it between two tortillas and enjoy!
Notes
- If you like more protein in your breakfast, add about 1/3-1/2 cup of cottage cheese per person. This will add about 10-14 grams of protein to each omelet. Mix the egg mixture or use a blender if you don’t want the white dots showing up in your omelet.
