Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt, coating the pan evenly.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly over the spinach.
- Cook the eggs gently, using a spatula to occasionally lift the edges and allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges of the pan. Continue this until the omelette is nearly set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Using the spatula, fold the omelette in half over the cheese. Allow it to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Carefully slide the omelette out of the pan onto a plate and serve immediately.
