Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing the spinach, dicing the ham into small cubes, and shredding the cheese if not already shredded.
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, mixing well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or omelette pan over medium heat and add butter or oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once the pan is hot and the butter is melted, pour in the whisked eggs, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
- As the eggs begin to set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle the diced ham, fresh spinach, and shredded cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filled side, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half to serve, and enjoy immediately while hot.
Tips
- Use fresh, room-temperature eggs for the fluffiest texture
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air and create a lighter omelette
- Don't overcrowd the pan - medium heat is key to preventing burning
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy flipping and clean release
- Pre-cook ham slightly for enhanced flavor and to ensure it's warm
- Chop spinach into smaller pieces for more even distribution
- Let the omelette rest for 30 seconds after folding to help set the cheese
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture
