Let’s Make a Spinach & Cheese Omelette!

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Set aside.

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

Step 3: Cook the Omelette
4. In the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for 30 seconds.
5. Using a spatula, gently push the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the sides.
6. Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the sautéed spinach and shredded cheese evenly over one half.

Step 4: Fold & Serve
7. Carefully fold the omelette in half and let it cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
8. Slide it onto a plate and serve warm!

What to Serve with a Spinach & Cheese Omelette

• Whole grain toast or a side of fresh fruit.
• Crispy hash browns or roasted potatoes.

Tips for the Perfect Omelette

• Don’t Overcook – Eggs continue cooking off the heat, so remove them slightly before fully set.
• Use a Non-Stick Pan – Prevents sticking and makes flipping easier.
• Low & Slow is Key – Cooking over medium-low heat ensures a tender omelette.
• Experiment with Cheese – Try goat cheese, Swiss, or pepper jack for a unique twist.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate – Store 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.
