Spinach omelet with cheddar cheese

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.

Ingredients:

1/4 onion
27g
1/4 red pepper
30g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup spinach
30g
3 eggs
150g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1/3 oz cheddar cheese
9g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
2. Cooking the Vegetables:
- 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.
3. Making the Omelet:
- 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.
4. Adding the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
5. Folding 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.
6. Serving:
- 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.

With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking techniques, you can create a delicious spinach omelet with cheddar cheese. This meal not only tastes great but is also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent option for any meal of the day. Enjoy your homemade omelet and feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients!
