Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp whole milk , or water (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter plus more for coating omelet (optional)
  • 3 tbsp grated or crumbled cheese such as chedder , Gruyère, goat cheese or feta
  • 2 tsp minced green onion , tarragon or parsley
  • 2 cups washed spinach leaves

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large pan over medium heat and add the spinach. Sauté until the spinach is tender and fully cooked and any liquid has cooked away - about 2 minutes.

  6. Heat the butter in a small pan over high heat, tilting the pan to coat the entire surface.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and scramble it with the back of a fork or wooden spoon as you gently shake the pan. Keep moving the pan and utensil at the same time until the egg mixture has coagulated and is nearly set - 2-3 minutes.
  8. Gently press the eggs down into an even layer and top with the cheese.
  9. Lower the heat and let the egg finish cooking without stirring. - 15-20 seconds. Sprinkle with herbs.
  10. Tilt the pan and slide a fork or spoon under the omelet, be sure it is not sticking. Slide the omelet to the front of the pan and use a fork or wooden spoon to roll the edge nearest the handle toward the centre of the omelet.
  11. Tip the pan, rolling the omelet onto the serving plate.
