Welcome to our easy and delicious Cheddar Spinach Omelet with Chives recipe. Perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch, this omelet combines the savory flavor of cheddar cheese, the freshness of spinach, and the subtle kick of chives. Let's get started!
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Shred the cheddar cheese and set aside.
- Chop the fresh chives and spinach, and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt completely.
- Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, pour in the whisked eggs.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs.
- Distribute the chopped spinach and chives evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the side of the omelet without the fillings and fold it over the side with the fillings, creating a half-moon shape.
- Press down lightly on the folded omelet to ensure it holds its shape and the fillings are warmed through.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
- Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, folding it as you transfer it to maintain its shape.
- Garnish with additional chives if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the eggs vigorously to incorporate more air.
- Use fresh spinach for the best taste and texture; however, you can use frozen spinach if you thaw and drain it well.
- Preheat your pan over medium heat before adding the butter to ensure even cooking.
- Shred the cheddar cheese finely for faster melting and better distribution.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to prevent burning and achieve a tender texture.
- Fold the omelet gently to keep all the fillings inside and to maintain its airy texture.
There you have it, a delectable Cheddar Spinach Omelet with Chives! This dish is not only quick and easy but also packed with nutrients and flavor. Enjoy your omelet hot, and feel free to experiment by adding your favorite ingredients. Happy cooking!
