Cooking a spinach omelet with cheddar cheese is a quick and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy a healthy meal at any time. This recipe combines fresh vegetables with protein-packed eggs and a touch of flavorful cheddar cheese for a delicious and satisfying dish.
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and red bell pepper.
- Roughly chop the spinach.
- Grate the cheddar cheese.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, or until they start to soften and become fragrant.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Reduce the heat to low-medium.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the side with the cheese. Gently press down to help the omelet stick together.
- Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt inside.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- Ensure your ingredients are prepped before you start cooking: chop the onion, red pepper, and spinach so they're ready to go.
- Cooking the vegetables first ensures they are tender and full of flavor. Make sure they are slightly cooled before combining with the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which will make your omelet fluffier.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to prevent it from burning and to ensure even cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned skillet to make flipping the omelet easier.
- Add the cheddar cheese towards the end of cooking so it melts perfectly without burning.
