How to Make a Spinach & Cheese Omelette

1. Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (if using), salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined and slightly frothy.

2. Sauté the Spinach
Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Omelette
Reduce heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, until the edges start to set.

4. Add Spinach & Cheese
Sprinkle the sautéed spinach and shredded cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

5. Fold & Finish Cooking
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

6. Serve & Enjoy!
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve warm. Enjoy with toast, avocado, or a side of fresh fruit.

What to Serve with This Omelette

• Toast or Whole Grain Bread – Complements the omelette perfectly.
• Fresh Salad – A light and refreshing side.
• Avocado Slices – Adds creaminess and extra nutrients.
• Hot Sauce or Salsa – For a little extra kick.

Tips for the Best Omelette

• Use Low Heat: Prevents overcooking and keeps the eggs tender.
• Don’t Overfill: Too many fillings can make it hard to fold.
• Pre-Cook Watery Veggies: This prevents excess moisture in the omelette.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm in a skillet over low heat for 1–2 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds.
