Spinach: Fresh spinach is the best. I love spinach omelette with fresh 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. Red, white, or yellow all are fine;
Garlic: Fresh minced garlic. I love the flavor of garlic in this omelette. Replace with garlic powder if fresh is not available;
Cheese: I used freshly grated mozzarella. You can use parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, goat cheese, or any of your favorites.
Salt and pepper: sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to season the omelette;

Preparations Step By Step

Whisk the eggs

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add a little salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs nicely until fluffy.

Cook the spinach

Heat a pan, once the pan is heated, add oil. Tilt the pan to spread oil all over. An 8-inch nonstick pan is perfect for two egg omelettes.
Add onion and garlic. Saute until the onion turns soft.
Add spinach and sprinkle some salt. Cook until the leaves wilted. Once done, spread the spinach evenly on the pan to let the water evaporate out.

Make the omelette

Pour the egg mixture. Once the egg mixture starts to cook, gently lift the edges from the side of the omelette with a spatula, and tilt the pan, so the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath.
Sprinkle the omelette with cheese and pepper. Carefully lift up the edge of the omelette and check to see if the bottom is lightly golden. Once done, gently fold the omelette and serve immediately.

Storage Suggestions

Like any omelette, spinach omelette tastes best when made fresh.

To save some time, you can cook the spinach before and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Recipe Tips

If you double the recipe make sure to cook the omelette in two batches or use a large pan.

To make the omelette more healthier, use only egg whites instead of whole eggs.

For a dairy-free version, you can skip cheese in the omelette or you can use vegan cheese instead.

You can add a few fresh herbs such as chives once the omelette is cooked to add a great flavor to it.

FAQ

Can I use frozen spinach?

Absolutely! Frozen spinach can be added to the spinach omelette , just like fresh spinach. Simply thaw the spinach and squeeze gently using a thin cloth to remove any excess water, then cook as you would normally.
