Spinach omelette is a tasty breakfast or brunch that can be whipped up in just 10 minutes. Full of the goodness of tender baby spinach, eggs, and cheese, this is an ideal way to start your busy day!
Though spinach is available all year round, they taste best when fresh and in season. This recipe, along with my Spinach stir fry with garlic is another great way to incorporate fresh spinach into your diet.

Ingredients Used
This spinach egg omelette recipe uses simple, fresh, easily accessible, budget-friendly ingredients. Here is what you will need:
- Spinach: Fresh spinach is the best. I love spinach omelette with baby spinach. You can use regular spinach too. Just make sure to remove the hard stems if any;
- Eggs: two large eggs are perfect for one serving;
- Olive oil: I prefer olive oil. You can use sunflower, safflower, canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil. OR use butter for a rich, savory flavor;
- Onion: finely diced. I am using red onion but red, white, or yellow all are fine;
- Garlic: minced. I love the flavor of garlic in this omelette. You can leave this out if you wish;
- Cheese: I used freshly grated mozzarella. You can use parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, feta cheese or any of your favorite;
- Salt and pepper: sea salt and freshly ground pepper to season the omelet;
Preparations Step By Step
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs nicely until fluffy.
- Heat a pan, once the pan is heated add oil, tilt the pan to spread oil all over. An 8 inch nonstick pan (affiliate link) is perfect for 2 eggs omlette.
- Add onion and garlic. Saute until the onion turns soft.
