Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 cup Fresh baby spinach
- 1/4 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Milk or water(optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- 2
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 3
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove spinach from the pan and set aside.
- 4
Wipe the skillet if necessary, add a tiny bit more butter if needed, and pour in the egg mixture.
- 5
Let the eggs sit for 30 seconds, then gently push the cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the edges.
- 6
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, sprinkle the sautéed spinach and cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
- 7
Fold the omelet in half, cover with a lid for 30 seconds to ensure the cheese is fully melted, and slide onto a plate.
