Turkey, goat cheese and spinach omelet FAQ:
Cook the omelet for about 2-3 minutes on medium-low heat until the edges are set and the center is slightly runny. After adding the filling, cook for an additional minute until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
Yes, you can substitute goat cheese with cheeses like feta, mozzarella, or cheddar, depending on your flavor preferences. Each option will alter the taste slightly, so choose according to your liking.
The omelet is done when the edges are firm and the center is no longer runny. If you lift the folded edge, the filling should be hot and the cheese melted.
A non-stick skillet that is 8 to 10 inches in diameter works best for making this omelet. This size allows enough space for the eggs to spread and cook evenly.
If you have leftover omelet, cool it slightly and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure your omelet cooks evenly and can be folded easily without sticking.
- Prepare all ingredients in advance to streamline the cooking process, especially since omelets cook quickly.
- For a fluffier omelet, whisk the eggs vigorously to incorporate more air, or add a tablespoon of milk or water to the eggs before whisking.
- Cook the vegetables over medium heat to ensure they become tender without burning.
- Add the spinach last as it wilts quickly and retains more of its nutrients this way.
- Fold the omelet gently in half to encase the fillings before serving.
