Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned and cooked thoroughly. Once done, remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Using the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and sauté until it is wilted. Once the spinach is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside with the sausage.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the butter in the skillet over medium heat until it is melted and sizzling. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked sausage, wilted spinach, and shredded cheese over one half of the omelette. Avoid overstuffing to ensure the omelette can be folded easily.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Let it cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Slide the completed omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Enjoy it as is, or with a side of toasted bread and fresh fruit for a well-rounded breakfast.
Tips
- For a lighter version, you can use egg whites and low-fat cheese.
- You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for more flavor and nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture.
