Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach and kale thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat dry with a clean towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- Chop the spinach and kale into bite-sized pieces.
- Rinse the chives, parsley, and tarragon under cold water.
- Pat dry and finely chop all the herbs.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined.
- Add the coconut milk to the eggs and whisk until incorporated.
- Add the chopped chives, parsley, tarragon, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture.
- Mix well to ensure even distribution of the herbs and seasoning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chopped spinach and kale to the skillet.
- Sauté the greens for 2-3 minutes until they are wilted and tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and spread the cooked greens evenly over the base of the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture over the greens, tilting the skillet to ensure the egg covers all the greens evenly.
- Cook the omelet undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese.
- Using a spatula, gently slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Garnish with additional herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly to create a uniform mixture, ensuring a fluffy and light omelet.
- Preheat your pan and melt the coconut oil over medium heat before adding the egg mixture to prevent sticking.
- Finely chop the herbs and spinach to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the omelet.
- Add the goat cheese just before folding the omelet to ensure it melts perfectly without becoming too runny.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper, but be mindful of the saltiness of the goat cheese.
- Serve the omelet immediately while it's hot for the best texture and flavor.
