Serves 2

Ingredients

Olive oil
1 tablespoon
Black pepper
to taste
Salt
to taste
Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup, shredded
Tomatoes
1 cup, diced
Fresh spinach
2 cups, chopped
Eggs
4, large

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil coats the entire surface.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, releasing their juices.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed spinach and tomatoes, tilting the skillet to distribute the eggs if necessary.
  5. Allow the omelette to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the center is slightly runny.
  6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
  7. Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half, covering the cheese. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still tender.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot, garnished with additional black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra kick, add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 You can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms for added texture and taste.
