Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and vibrant in color.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked spinach in the skillet, ensuring even coverage.
- Allow the omelette to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the omelette, allowing it to melt into the warm eggs.
- Using a spatula, gently fold one side of the omelette over the other to form a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still moist.
- Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a side of crusty bread.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider incorporating sautéed onions or mushrooms with the spinach.
- Feel free to substitute with other cheeses like feta or goat cheese for a different taste.
- Serve with a side of fresh tomatoes or a simple salad for a refreshing contrast.
