Cup of Yum
Cook the spinach
- Heat a pan, once the pan is heated add oil, tilt the pan to spread oil all over.
- Add onion and garlic. Saute until the onion turns soft.
- Add spinach and sprinkle some salt. Cook until the leaves wilted. Once done, spread the spinach evenly on the pan to let the water evaporate out.
Make the omelette
- Pour the egg mixture. Once the egg mixture starts to cook, gently lift the edges from the side of the omelette with a spatula, and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath.
- Sprinkle omelette with cheese and pepper. Carefully lift up the edge of the omelette and check to see if the bottom is lightly golden. Once done, gently fold the omelette and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you double the recipe make sure to cook the omelette in two batches or use a large pan.
- To make the omelette more healthier, use only egg whites instead of whole eggs.
- For a dairy-free version, you can skip cheese in the omelette or you can use vegan cheese instead.
