Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the turkey ham into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
- Roughly chop the spinach leaves.
- In a medium bowl, add the egg whites and the whole egg.
- Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Add the diced turkey ham to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are lightly browned and heated through. Remove the turkey ham from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside with the turkey ham.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, spreading them evenly across the surface. Allow the eggs to cook without stirring until they start to set around the edges but are still slightly runny on top.
- Evenly sprinkle the cooked turkey ham, wilted spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings using a spatula. Gently press down to help the cheese melt and the fillings heat through. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure your skillet is well-heated and lightly greased before adding the egg mixture to prevent sticking.
- Use fresh spinach for the best taste and nutritional value. If you're using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to enhance the flavor and nutritional content.
- To make the omelet fluffier, whisk the egg whites and egg yolk together thoroughly before cooking.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to avoid overbrowning and to ensure even cooking throughout.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before cooking.
Cooking a turkey and cheese omelet with spinach is a quick and easy process that yields a nutritious and delicious meal. With its rich combination of proteins and vegetables, this omelet is perfect for any meal of the day. Enjoy your homemade omelet and feel good knowing you’ve made a healthy choice!
